Railways working on increasing speeds of long-distance trains by 25kmph

The Indian Railways is working on increasing the speeds of all long-distance passenger trains by 25km/hour by 2022 which will reduce travel time considerably, Minister of State (West Bengal) for Railways Rajen Gohain said in Kolkata. The Railways Ministry also asked to double the average speed of freight trains by 2022, Gohain said after inaugurating a Santragachi-Chennai Central weekly Antyodaya Express train service.
