WR is there right from BCT to Ratlam, for the same reason of vast area of WR, Mumbai Rajdhani gets priority but Duronto is given least despite it being non stop service taking lesser halts than rajdhani.
Mumbai Rajdhani departs during crowd time of locals and other trains, still attains such high average speed and Duronto departs in night time, still cant make equal average speed?
Durontos are slow only in WR section, NZM-ERS DURONTO, BCT-NDLS Duronto, etc,
whereas...
more...

in all other durontos are faster than thier rajdhani counterparts or are equal to them
example, HWH RAJDHANI=Hwh Ndls Drnt
Sdah DRNT>Sdah Raj
BBS Drnt>BBS Raj
YPR drnt>SBC Raj
mas drnt=mas raj
sc raj=sc drnt
jat drnt=jat raj.
The Concept of short distance for a rajdhani for Mumbai means that the rajdhani for mumbai should follow shortest possible route because it will take lesser time to reach Mumbai from Delhi.
Does this short distance concept fits for August Kranti which takes 1 hr 25 mins more than BCT Raj ? and still talks are there for thrid raj by same route where a duronto doesnt get its deserved priority, duronto also provides shortest distance rajdhani type service.
Hence, Rajdhani service is also about the intermediate halts that it takes so short distance concept is already used twice for WR as already they have 2 rajs.
Also, there many Rajdhanis using longer routes,BBS Raj via tata, HWH Raj via PNBE, DBRG Raj via bsb, rnc raj
Even TVC Rajdhani which takes just 2 halts between Mumbai and Delhi, i.e brc and kota, takes more time than ak raj.
