Sorry for asking but why has the Time decreased by so less. While IR talks of reducing time shouldn't it apply to trains running for decades. It is weird that SR has hardly any say in IR. Otherwise TN Express and Cormandel should have got LHB plus 130 MPS and a reduced TT long ago.
The simple answer is congestion. During the initial years of TN's run, there were very few trains on this route. So it was possible to have a train running with utmost priority without affecting the other trains much. But that's not the case now. With more than 100 trains passing through the MAS-NGP section alone ( The number keeps increasing as you go towards Delhi), it is no longer feasible to have such special trains now ( in addition to Raj/Duronto trains which already have the highest priority). It's not a matter of LHB coaches or 130 kmph mps, but rather a matter of track capacity, platform availability at major stations and schedule management. If these problems are tackled, then even with current rake ( it's a CBC rake, which is very good by the way) and current MPS also, it is possible to speed it up.
