Shiv Ganga Express: mera bhola hai bhandari, karta Shiv Ganga ki sawari... Kashi Vishwanath Re, ohh bholenath Re... - Divyanshu Gupta

Where are the railway tracks for 200kmph operation??
LHB coaches were acquired 2 decades ago, and it was touted that they are capable of 200kmph where as Faster trains were operating at 130kmph(Exc. BPL Shatabdi doing 140kmph in NDL-AGC section).
Today also the situation is same 130kmph (Exc. Gatiman/BPL Shatabdi doing 160/150kmph in NDL-AGC section)
All the huge expenditure due to LHB coaches (...
more...

(1) Import of coaches in foreign exchange
(2) technology transfer in foreign exchange
(3) Modification of coach factories/workshops/
(4) Higher cost of the LHB coach
(5) Cost of generator cars and its operation, maintenance, fuelling, manning costs, and air/noisepollution.
(6) Revenue loss due to reduced paxs which in turn is due to compulsion of having generator cars
(7) Lesser indigenisation in LHB as compared to ICF coach
At the time of purchase of LHB coach/technology, IR/RDSO has already developed, tested and produced a 160kmph rake which was deployed in NDLS-ASR swarna shatabdi.
Today, again IR mulling to buy 250kmph Talgo coaches at heavy costs with the LHB technology coaches (200kmph) getting badly insulted by operating them at 100/130kmph!
Is History in process of repeating itself, just because humans refuse to learn lessons from the past?!!
