I am looking at the side ladder and can notice it is broken in places already , IR should stop trying to have aesthetically pleasing stuff and rather than have more operational material like they previously used to

Assuming 6 hrs to LKO and then 4 hrs btw LKO-GKP ; 10 hours journey in sitting class is not favourable , also not enough demand on route ; also T-18 rakes aren't being produced and lastly this is a political demand and should be torn and thrown in use-bin.

Better extend ANVT-GKP upto CPR and make it daily.

Rajdhani or daily-AC express.

CSMT Rajdhani did 160 KMPH ?

Is this true ?

Also by PUSH PULL WAP 5 , I meant the TEJAS livery ones.

---

This is new , thanks for sharing this info , I am quite surprised no one pushes this 160 KMPH run on blog.

---

I think , this has not been done , it is a "Simulation" , so it is computer generated. I mean till AGC both had exactly same timings .

---

Well , I didn't even know that Tejas WAP 5 aren't fit for 130 till now , somehow I have a feeling that those two locos are going to waste , I mean IR should give them on trial basis to 12001 or 12003 , and check them for what they have actually been built for.

Well RDSO designed them for 160 KMPH , these things are modelled on super computers , airflow and air friction and every small thing is considered and then design is finalised. If they are not doing above 110 KMPH (IN ANY CONDITION) then things should be studied , part failure or design failure.

Although can you provide link to 110 KMPH restriction , if you have any.

Those PUSH PULL engines have been a mood spoiler , i had great expectations from them.

---

I know about this sir , but I wanted to see TEJAS P5 with some Rajdhani or Shatabdi.

Don't know about watermark issue (legality behind it) , personally I feel sharing data should be okay until its not confidential (this is against our country).

BTW I have seen official scan documents using CamScanner and sending them forward , this too leaves watermark. So rather than watermark , confidentiality of document should be an issue.

Must be done with immediate effect , PUSH PULL WAP 7 gives good performance , and once 9000 HP WAP 7 rolls out , it will finish the need of T-18 altogether.
