Sapt Kranti Express: Ruling the tracks with EMD Power - Keshav Singh

I personally travelled in China high speed trains from Hangzhou to Quzhou a distance of 250+kms on Shanghai-Shenzen Guangzhou route and Boading to beijing 147km on Beijing Guangzou route and felt in speed and quality of coaches. The D trains run with speeds of 200kmph and cover the first route in just 1 hr 40 mins. Even a train with max speed of 120kmph to boading from beijing took just 1.5hrs to cover the distance and its rush and both corridors have trains running every 10min all the railway network is fenced and wall built in towns and cities, Electric traction, airconditioning coaches, no level or road crossings and very punctual. the average speeds are maintained throughout the journey.
