Reducing travel time is very much required. With increased speed and less stoppage this can be achieved. Bullet trains will not come in India in near future. more

Flight is point to point service. Train is not like flight. It has to satisfy all intermediate station passengers. So, it has to stop at many intermediate stations and can not be operated on point to point basis. Many poor people are traveling in trains. more

I have seen that the train halts at many places for hours together for getting signals. Also the speed on normal gradients without curves is also at times very poor. Surely this problem can be solved. The railways needs to think in a better way to solve this issues. If infrastructure needs to be improved for the said purpose then it has to be done. After all it the need of the time. People want to travel fast and reach the destination at the earliest. If rajdhani for eg. From Mumbai to New Delhi can take lesser time to reach the destination then why not the others. So we need to upgrade. more

That is engineering. What you have in mind is max.speed,but running speed depends on condition of soil,gradient(slope),curves,bridges,weather,track strength etc.,.so if you want a running speed of say, 100 kmph you need a track capable of withstanding speeds of 150-180 kmph.that means you have to invest more on high speed tracks and of course on high speed coaches. more
