Train Drivers Can Now Hit Top Permissible Speed To Reduce Delays
The new directive replaces an order issued in 2000 in which the ministry had said that trains are supposed to run at maximum permissible speed (MPS) even when they are on time, subject to speed restrictions, but they rarely do so.
The MPS of mail and express trains is 110 kmph but they maintain a speed of 40-50 kmph (Representational)
