Maitree Express: মৈত্রী এক্সপ্রেস - দুই বাংলার সংস্কৃতি ও ভাতৃত্বের মেলবন্ধন - Joydeep Roy

We know that it halted for about 8 mins, but the time it took for slowdown and again start and pick up, would have been counted too.. If we calculate the whole time then it comes around 15-16 mins, and a little time would have been lost at Agra outer too.. Afterwards it kept losing time as the trains rajdhani overtook restarted and took time in picking up and it wasn't allowed to overtake so distance increase.. If it would have been in front, then both would have overtaken those trains one after other and would have easily maintained their time tables upto Itarsi..
