SilverLine will be over in five years, says K-Rail MD

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: K-Rail managing director V Ajith Kumar has justified the use of standard gauge for the SilverLine semi high-speed rail project. The debate over gauge is unnecessary since high-speed trains in different parts of the world run on standard gauge tracks. Broad gauge is used only in India and some other countries. He was replying to criticism raised by some experts over choosing standard gauge over broad gauge.
