Railways gives nod for high speed Talgo train trial on two routes

Railway has given permission for the trial run of high speed Talgo trains on two routes, including Delhi-Mumbai section. The trains manufactured by Spanish firm Talgo will undertake trial runs at speeds between 160 and 200 kmph on the existing tracks on two routes – a route taken by Rajdhani Express and another non-Rajdhani route.<br/><br/>Depending upon the results of the trial, Railways will consider introduction of high speed trains. If the Talgo train runs at speeds varying between 160 and 200 kmph on the existing infrastructure without any upgrade, the travel time between Delhi and Mumbai is expected to be cut down to about 12 hours from the current 17 hours.
