Okay speed up has nothing to do with stops - let me give you an example - Rayalseema used to be one of the slowest train from TPTY to HYD deccan once upon a time (SCR railfan should know) , yes they did cut some stops but most stops are still there. Now its one of the highly preferred SF from TPTY to NZM.
Sabari though have lot of stops in Kerala due to density of population, it can still be speeded up once it cross Kochi to Palakkad and from...
more... there in TN, and AP regions.
please wait...Translate to EnglishAlright, speeding up doesn't mean fewer stops - let me break it down for you - Rayalseema Express used to be mad slow from Tirupati to Hyderabad Deccan back in the day (SCR railfans would get it), yeah, they did trim some stops but most stops still stay. Now it's one of the top picks from Tirupati to Hazrat Nizamuddin. Sabari, on the other hand, has loads of stops in Kerala 'cause of all the peeps, but can still rev it up once it crosses Kochi to Palakkad and then in TN and AP regions.
