Sharma was quoted by Assam Tribune as saying: “The underlying proposition is that if we can reduce avoidable waste of time then we can run trains faster. With this aim, 25 trains have been ‘speeded up’ to reduce running time by average 23 minutes.
“Along with this, the stoppage time of 122 trains at different stations has also been reduced. Among these are 33 trains at Guwahati, 16 at Rangiya, 71 at New Jalpaiguri and 2 trains at Katihar.”
The NFR also has plans to reduce the running time of 10 more trains by an average of 24 minutes each in the next few months.
