The Western Railway (WR) line of Mumbai division will see Long-distance express mail trains on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route operate at an increased speed of 160 kilometre per hour (kmph) from March, The Indian Express reported.
The news was confirmed by the Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) of Western Railway’s Mumbai division, Neeraj Verma, who said that major works have been completed and that upgrading the speed will be done in March. He added that the upgrade will allow trains running long distance to run at an increased speed. In the beginning, only premium trains like Tejas, Shatabdi, and Vande Bharat will be operated at 160 kmph, which is closer to their potential speeds.
