Feb 03 2017 (20:07) 12301/Howrah - New Delhi Rajdhani Express (Via Gaya)

dipak2002nitw 28 blog postsA strange thing happened when I was traveling by this train on 31st Dec'16. It was delayed and left Patna around 10 PM. This train and 12301 entered MGS same time. 12309 was allowed to leave MGS first. At outer signal after leaving MGS, it first stopped and started moving slowly in reverse direction :). I thought It will again go back to MGS. As it was rolling back, 12301 passed on side track and overtook. It continued going back and I thought 12313 would also overtake. Then It stopped going back and after sometime it started again its journey towards NDLS. It reached NDLS after 12301 but ahead of 12313.

Both HWH and BCT Raj get priority from an operational prospective because they are the oldest running Rajdhani,s. Both Trains run at 130KMPH. The only reason why BCT Raj has a higher Avg speed is because compared to HWH Rajdhani,s its distance from New Delhi is lesser. while 12951/12952 covers a distance of 1384Kms. HWH is farther from New Delhi at 1447 Kms and there is less traffic on NDLS-BCT route when compared NDLS-HWH route. So all this chest beating is nonsense. There are operational reasons behind time scheduling. I am sure once the Eastern DFC & Western DFC is in place avg running time of both trains would further come down.
