 "Touted to be India's fastest train from Delhi-Agra Shatabdi flags off for trial run")
The Indian Railways on Thursday held a trial run of a semi-high speed train between New Delhi to Agra.
"The maximum speed of the train is 160 km/h. There are 10 coaches altogether and it is a trial run today. The speed of the train is more than the Shatabdi that runs from New Delhi to Agra. It will start running from November," said DRM of Delhi Division, Anurag Sachaan.
"The fare will be decided by railway department. After this, a similar train for New Delhi to Chandigarh and New Delhi to Kanpur will be put into effect," he added
The trial run will see the train travelling upto a speed of 160 kilometres per hour. The semi-high speed train would reduce the travel time between Delhi and Agra by about 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
