Yesterday on 22/02/2019, 22436 clocked 241 mins from NDLS to CNB for 441 kms..That means it must have covered CPYZ to Pankidham ( 402 kms ) in approx 195 mins at an average speed of 124 KMPH !!! & this has become a regular feature for 22436...
I am convinced that the train is already running at 140 KMPH for most of the route on CPYZ-PANKI section..
Further increase to 150/160 is actually not possible in near future as Fencing of entire route upto CNB is a distant dream...
