even shatbdi is not able to do that. its among fastest sf for ndls-lko and vice versa.
Ok my bad. Lets consider 1.5 hour less. But do note that the shatabdi route is via CNB which is a bit longer.
also shatabdi runs on a mps of 130 whereas it runs on mps 110-100. also shatbdi enjoy high priority in non congesting time.
The biggest buffer is in BE-LKO. Don't understand why it should take more than 3.5 hours to cover that distance with not a single halt in between. Can take atleast 45 mins less.
At 7h 55 mins it's among the fastest on this section matching DBRT Rajdhani. Shatabdi can do the stretch in 6h 30 mins since it goes via the high speed CNB-NDLS section[seriously, Shatabdi thrashes the section at 130 while BE-MB can barely cross 100]. At best, it can do 7h 30 mins but no less than that.
