please wait...Translate to EnglishChennai Rajdhani is a train that connects South to North and it's always on time. It's a bright red train that goes really fast, sometimes at 120+kph. It starts from Chennai and goes straight to Vijayawada Jn without stopping for 431km, which is impressive. It always gets to Vijayawada early, usually by 5-20 minutes. It's very respected in SCR and goes non-stop from Vijayawada to Warangal at 115+kph covering 200km without any delay. However, from Warangal to Nagpur it's usually delayed because the line is always under repair. It then speeds up again, reaching around 120+kph and arrives in Nagpur around 10-25 minutes late. Then it goes to Bhopal where it has to stop 2-3 times for signal clearances because of train traffic. It's not as fast as usual in this stretch, but still pretty fast. It arrives in Bhopal with the same delay, and from there it goes to Jhansi with a good speed of 120+kph, and usually covers up the delay at night.

The shiny scarlet red color of this Rajdhani train catches the eye and adds to its allure. It is given high priority by Indian Railways, which ensures its smooth and timely operation.
The Lallaguda Wap-7 locomotive that hauls this train is known for its reliability and efficiency. From Chennai to Vijayawada Junction, the train covers a distance of 431 km without any scheduled stops, touching speeds of over 120 km/h. This enables it to reach Vijayawada 5-20 minutes ahead of schedule in most cases.
Even in the South Central Railway (SCR) zone, the Chennai Rajdhani is accorded great respect. From Vijayawada to Warangal, the train continues its non-stop run for about 200 km, maintaining speeds of 115+ km/h. However, delays may occur from Warangal to Nagpur due to ongoing track repairs and maintenance. Despite this, the train manages to maintain a speed of around 120 km/h in this section and reaches Nagpur with a delay of 10-25 minutes.
From Nagpur to Bhopal, the train operates more like a Superfast train due to heavy congestion on the route. It may have to make unscheduled halts for signal clearances, resulting in minor delays. Nonetheless, the train arrives in Bhopal with a consistent delay.
The stretch from Bhopal to Jhansi allows the train to regain its speed, reaching speeds of 120+ km/h. The night hours offer less train traffic, helping it cover up any delay it may have encountered earlier. However, between Jhansi and Gwalior, the train experiences some delay due to the busy nature of the line, occupied by EMU and passenger trains to New Delhi, Palwal, Agra, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and other destinations. The train may arrive in Gwalior with a delay of 5-15 minutes.
Gwalior to Agra presents a slightly smoother run, allowing the train to make up for a portion of the delay. Nevertheless, it still arrives in Agra 5-15 minutes behind schedule. From Agra to Nizamuddin, there is not much change in the delay pattern, and the train maintains its consistent delay of 5-20 minutes.
It is interesting to note that the maximum speed of 130 km/h is observed in the Agra-Nizamuddin and Chennai-Vijayawada sections, ensuring a brisk journey in these zones.
