#Eligibility
Do you think there should be a minimum cut off distance for Super fast trains? For example, if I say "Minimum cut off should be 300KM" then it means a train SHOULD NOT be declared as Super fast if it travels less than 300KM even though it fulfills the SF criteria of 55KMPH Avg speed.
*****************
The main reason behind this poll

is that there are many super fast trains who the travel laughably short distance. For example, Shantiniketan Express (147KM), Tippu Express (139KM) etc. For such a short distance it doesn't really matter if a train is super fast or not (In fact many M/E trains are faster than those SF trains in that stretch). So I believe we can say it is a cheap stunt of IR to earn extra money. What do you say?
*****************
Tagging SF trains running less that 200KM in one direction.

I don't have any issues with the distance or the number of stoppages, only thing is the minimum average speed must be at least 70 kmph.

May be. But the fact is we hold on to 55 kmph for a very long time. What is needed is the development of rail infrastructure and increase the speed of trains. IMO, 70 kmph can be set as a minimum benchmark to start with. 55 kmph is too low.
