SHORT ROUTE VS LONG ROUTE
Only one train still runs connecting mumbai and kolkata through prayagraj? If yes what could be the reason? If anyone is aware of it can explain me. Because the other route through nagpur and raipur has so many trains na? Is the govt not interested or less collection?? The fact that route through prayagraj is 200 km more than the route through nagpur and raipur may be the reason but that also cannot be said to be true as some trains in...
more... india run between 2 cities in 2 different routes and one of them sometimes more than the other. One good example of above is chennai - ahmedabad trains, navjeevan covers it by 1892 km. Whereas the other one chennai - ahmedabad exp does that in 1717 km. How many of you think trains should take only shortest distance between any 2 cities? Mumbai - kolkata through prayagraj is 2158 km and Mum and kol through nagpur is 1962 km. When Duronto was introduced from chennai to madurai I thought railways gone insane as 60 km more that train is traveling through salem, don't know how many of them using that train. Recently introduced CR rajdhani travels 1534 km whereas its counterparts in other route travel 1378 km to reach delhi.
