1) Rajdhani Express / The Capital Express

Rajdhani Express is a series of fast passenger train service in India operated by Indian Railways connecting New Delhi with other important destinations (mostly capital cities of other states). Rajdhani means "The Capital" in Hindi. The Rajdhanis are among the fastest trains in India along with Shatabdi Express and Duronto Express and get highest priority on the Indian railway network.

it would be good if you can also mention the average speed and the highest speed achieved by these "semi high speed" trains. Maybe compare it with your "normal" speed trains so we can actually see the difference

thanks

hey guys, i created this thread to discuss ews related to India's Semi High ad High speed trains.

we have at last 5 to 6 different types of high speed Trais :
1) Rajdhani Express / The Capital Express
2) Garibrath Express / Poor's Chariot Express
3) Gatimaan Express / Superfast(?) Express
4) Shatabdi Express / centenary Express
5)Duronto Express / restless Express

Train from Spain: Government considering Talgo proposal to run trial runs of faster trains trains between Mumbai, Delhi
The Modi government has given an in-principle nod for Madrid-based locomotive-maker Talgo to undertake trial runs of its lighter and faster trains that could cut travel time between Mumbai and Delhi from 17 hours to 12 hours without overhauling India's ageing rail tracks.

Talgo Chief executive officer Jose Maria Oriol, who met top officials in the Prime Minister's Office on Thursday, told ET they are hopeful of bringing their trial train to India by October or early November at their own cost and risk to demonstrate its advantages.

it would be good if you can also mention the average speed and the highest speed achieved by these "semi high speed" trains. Maybe compare it with your "normal" speed trains so we can actually see the difference

thanks

Silver are you an India? Hope you don't mind answering that. Thanks.

1) Garibrath Express / Poor's Chariot Express
(130 km/hr.)
The Garib Rath (literally: "Poor Man's Chariot") is a no-frills air-conditioned train started by the Indian Railways in 2005 to provide cheaper air-conditioned travel to passengers who could not afford normal fares of air conditioned class in normal trains. As the fares are less than two-thirds of the fares for air conditioned classes in other trains, the distance between each seat or berth is less, the seats and berths are narrower and each coach has more seats and berths than in air-conditioned coaches in other trains. Only seating and three-tier (78 seats) accommodation is provided in Garib Rath. The passengers are not provided free bedding or food.It is faster than super-fast express trains. The maximum speed of Garib Rath trains is around 130 km/h, nearly same as Rajdhani's top speed.

Train from Spain: Government considering Talgo proposal to run trial runs of faster trains trains between Mumbai, Delhi
The Modi government has given an in-principle nod for Madrid-based locomotive-maker Talgo to undertake trial runs of its lighter and faster trains that could cut travel time between Mumbai and Delhi from 17 hours to 12 hours without overhauling India's ageing rail tracks.

Talgo Chief executive officer Jose Maria Oriol, who met top officials in the Prime Minister's Office on Thursday, told ET they are hopeful of bringing their trial train to India by October or early November at their own cost and risk to demonstrate its advantages.

Gatimaan Express is a semi-high speed train that will run between New Delhi and Agra at a speed of about 160 km/h (99 mph), and the fastest train in India.[1][2]

The train takes a travel time of 105 minutes to cover 195 KM journey.[3][4] It is faster than Delhi-Bhopal New Delhi Habibganj Shatabdi Express whose top speed is 155 km/h (96 mph) between Delhi-Agra stretch.

My friend because I joined the forum just now but I have been guest spectator from a long time and also have seen you taking side of India.
Anyways I am an INDIAN and live in US. So I was being are you an Indian living in US.
Sorry if I have offended you.

 

[Götterdämmerung]

I just googled semi high-speed rail since I have never heard this term before and all I got were links to India.

Well, at least India can claim to have high speed trains as well, albeit semi.

 

[samlove]

indian companies are rolling with modi dream of high speed trains........................

Titagarh Wagons today announced acquisition of Italy-based Firema Trasporti to foray intometro coachand high-speed train manufacturing. In aBSE filing, Titagarh Wagons announced "foray into metro coach and high-speed train manufacturing with the acquisition of the business of Firema Trasporti S.p.Abased in Italy".

1. Rajdhani Trains do upto 135-140 km/hr.
2.Shatabdi Trains upto 160 km/hr.
3.GaribRath Trains upto 130 km/hr.
4. Duranto Trains upto 135 km/hr.
5.Janshatabdi Trains upto 115 km/hr.

up to is no good。

Average operating speed is more to the point。

So if a train takes 10 hours to travel from A to B that are 1000km apart with many stations in between，the train's average operating speed is 100kph。

@cirr

All of the above have an average speed of 77-87 km/hr.

Mostly because large swaths of rails have restricted at an MPS of 95-115 km/hr due to 88% utilisation rate , mainly to avoid mishaps.
