Western Railway Approves 130 Kmph Speed for 23 Mumbai Train Services
Western Railway has approved increasing the maximum permissible speed from 110 kmph to 130 kmph for 23 pairs of Mumbai-origin trains operating with 22 LHB coaches. This upgrade is expected to reduce journey times by 45 to 60 minutes on long-distance routes, though trains will not maintain 130 kmph throughout due to operational constraints. Additionally, the Ahmedabad-Patna Express will also run at 130 kmph with an expanded coach composition. Revised timetables will confirm exact time savings.
