(422 Kms.) In 4 Hours 38 Minutes @ 91 KM/H
12952: Did NDLS-KOTA (465 Kms.) In 4 Hours 27 Minutes @ 105 KM/H Arriving KOTA 13 Minutes Before Time!!!
12954: Departed NZM @ 17:35, Covered It's Delay Too!!!
One Of The Phenonmenal Runs For All 3 Mumbai Rajdhanis Yesterday!!!

So, 17 Hours 45 Minutes End To End!!!
If This Is Possible Then Why Did CR Settle For Leisurely 18 Hours 35 Minutes For 22222?
50 Minutes Delay Recovered!
Some More Revision Definitely Needed.

Can Start At 17:35 (NZM) & Arrive By 11:15 (CSMT)
12126 Pragati Express Can Be Shifted To 11:25 Since It Is Already Delayed Between Karjat-Panvel-Thane Providing 12126 More Buffer.
12321 Howrah Mumbai Mail Can Be Shifted To Current Sewagram's Arrival Time Of 11:40
12140 Sewagram Express Can Be Shifted To Current 22222's Arrival Of 11:50
11024 Sahyadri Express As Usual Can Arrive At 12:05
Besides, 22221/22222's MPS Should Be Increased To 140 KM/H Between TKD-AGC-TKD Since Both The WAP-7's Can Hit Their Limits Easily!
What Do You Think?

1. CR had proposed for 17:45 dep ex NZM but NR didnt have slots and hence 22222 had to settle for 17:15 dep
2. Arrival at 11:15 is not possible becauae of heavy line up traffic towards Mumbai and add to it peak hour suburban traffic.

3. Regarding 140 MPS, I feel that WAP 7 HS which is undergoing trials now...

for 160/180 Kmph will do the honours for 22221/22 in future. And anyways Work on upgrading route MPS (Present status unknown) is going on between AGC JHS.

1). There Aren't Many Arrivals/Departures Between 17:25-17:50 At NZM.
17:35/17:40 Should Have Been Tried Out.
Day Before Yesterday, 12954 AKR Departed At 17:35 Only After It Was Rescheduled.
2). Yeah There Is Traffic But Is Workable.

Are Two Ambarnath-CSMT Fast EMUs Timed At 10:03 & 10:26 At Kalyan & Arrives CSMT At 11:05 & 11:29 Respectively.
22222 Has To Overtake 12321 Before Kalyan.
12126 Pragati Express Can Be Slowed Down By 10 Minutes. As It Is, It Runs Late Between Karjat-Panvel-Thane.
3). Atleast For Now, 140 KM/H Should Be Allowed For TKD-AGC-TKD! We Don't Know How Long Will It Take For AGC-JHS To Upgrade To 140 KM/H Or More Higher Speeds.
