This must be trial to check if Coach is Fit for 250 MPS run later on or not!! LKO-HGH is 57 Kms and at 250 MPS you gonna take 15-20 Mins while 1 Hour schedule is sanctioned!!
A track worth 160 MPS cant handle 250 (or even 200) & the mentioned track is 110 (130 in special case & isn't fenced)!! There is no information anywhere & the link dont open. And yes...you need Loco worth 300 MPS!! RDSO dont wanna run any train for LKO-BSB via SLN after derailment & track dismantled?? Railtracker seems a hoax!!

** headline says that the under trial coaches are fit for 250kmph speed, but the report is silent on the speed at which trials shall be conducted.
** Trials at 180kmph has been conducted in patches mostly falling in Mathura-Kota section with Talgo as well as LHB rakes. Speed beyond 180 kmph is probably not safe on the IR tracks designed for maximum speed of 160kmph.
** A high speed test track is under construction near Jodhpur to facilitate trials at higher speed .

** Tejas coaches are already fit for 200kmph speed but operated at 130kmph only due to track limitations.
** Under trial coaches may be upgraded version of Tejas (max. speed 200kmph) or Vande Bharat (max speed 180kmph) and may be under trial to test their worthiness at lower speeds say 130/160 kmph
