May 02 2012 (11:34) 12274/New Delhi - Howrah Duronto Express

Sabyasachi~ 11940 blog postsThat means FASTER than 2301/2302 Rajdhani.
total time Taken from NDLS - HWH is 16hrs 30 mins which is 25 minutes less than HWH Rajdhani though it travels the same distance.
So H-LHB rakes must be travelling at 130kmph all along the GZB-DKAE portion
Though H-LHB rakes can do 130 km/hr, but they are certified to do max 120 km/hr.. But from experience of travelling on the train, I can say that the train have a tendency to do 124-126 km/hr at patches... Again HWH Raj has halts at Kanpur, Allahabad, Mughal Sarai, Gaya, Parasnath, and Dhanbad. Whereas Duronto has halts at Kanpur, Mughal Sarai and Dhanbad (though the Up Duronto has an additional halt at Gaya)..
I think this train has Clocked 130kmph Consistently yesterday in order that it arrived HWH so early.
My Friend was travelling on Yesterday Duronto from NDLS and he reported that this train Halted at CNB = 7 mins,MGS=8 mins,DHN=5 mins. It was Pulled by HWH P-4.
