LGD WAP7 TVC Rajdhani Honks Tears Palwal

WAP7 16 coach India's longest 12432 Thiruvananthapuram Rajdhani honks and rips through Palwal, 56 km from NDLS. Notice how the tree was silently meditating when all hell broke and leaves started dancing in ecstasy.

P7 LGD 30274.

TVC Rajdhani started running with new LHB CBC rakes from 26th June - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVnDSl-UCLc

First departure from TVC 28th June - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB9K6Rh066o

TVC Rajdhani given two more additional halts at Alappuzha and Kollam, 2 minutes each.

12432 does NZM KOTA non stop 458 km in 4.30 hrs, average 102 km/hr.

Thiruvananthapuram Rajdhani does Vadodara - Kota (528 km) non-stop, which is one of the longest continuous run on the Indian Railways.

Also until July 1999, TVC Rajdhani had no intermediate passenger halts in its 986 km run between Vadodara and Hazrat Nizamuddin.

TVC Rajdhani runs thrice a week. 12431 departs TVC Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. 12432 departs NZM Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

From July to October runs on the extended monsoon time table.

Usually a WDP3A locomotive hauls the train from TVC to Vadodara and then a WAP4 / WAP7 /WAP5 until Nizamuddin.

TVC Rajdhani is at a disadvantage on the Konkan route, since it is single track and the train apart from failing to maintain a consistent speed, has also to stop or slow down for crossings.

12431 covers 3149 km in 41.25 hrs (46.05 hrs Monsoon), average 78 km/hr and 17 halts.

12432 covers same distance in 42.05 hrs (46.30 hrs Monsoon), average 77 km/hr and same halts.

12431 departs TVC 19:15 and arrives NZM third day, 12:40 (17:20 Monsoon).

12432 departs NZM 11:00 and arrives TVC third day, 05:05 (09:30 Monsoon).

12431 halts 16 min - Vadodara, 10 min - Kota, Madgaon, Mangalore, 5 min - Vasai Road, Panvel, Ratnagiri, Shoranur, Ernakulam, 2 min - Kannur, Kozhikode, Alappuzha, Kollam, 1 min - Sawantwadi Road, Karwar, Udupi.

AC 1st class fare - Rs 5240

AC 2 tier - Rs 3140

AC 3 tier - Rs 2425
