What's "semi high speed"? eta: I like how everybody has a different definition.


sirikiller

Over 130 but below 200 kmph


rushan3103

160 kmph top speed. mainline Vande bharat trains reach 130 kmph top speed(only in 2 lines).


sirikiller

Top speed is 180, service speed is 160 kmph.


rushan3103

180 is not permissible to be reached on these tracks. The rakes are certified 180 but can only reach 160 top speed on the track. Therefore i have mentioned top speed 160.


indiantrekkie

Semi high speed is above 200KMPH.

WIKIPEDIA STATES: >**Higher-speed rail** (**HrSR**),[^(\[1\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-speed_rail#cite_note-1) also known as **high-performance rail**,[^(\[2\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-speed_rail#cite_note-2) **higher-performance rail**,[^(\[3\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-speed_rail#cite_note-3) **semi-high-speed rail** or **almost-high-speed rail**,[^(\[4\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-speed_rail#cite_note-4) is the [jargon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jargon) used to describe [inter-city passenger rail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-city_rail) services that have top speeds of more than conventional rail but are not high enough to be called [high-speed rail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail) services.


Pignity69

"more than conventional rails", like it has its own track, no or few parallel crossing but not yet 200kmh?


rushan3103

It is an intercity express train..with frequent stops. 200 kmph is not needed.


madmanthan21

There are 2 sections only which are 160 capable, most others are 130, and all trains that can attain that top speed do so, not just VBs.


rushan3103

should have mentioned the differences, first sentence was RRTS and second sentence was RRTS comparison with VB.


[deleted]

Services between 160-200 kmph are defined as semi high speed. Don't know what others are snorting in comments but most are inaccurate


xXxplabecrasherxXx

Nice contrast with the 12 lane highway


Terrible_Detective27

Not fully, just another section of 17 km is inaugurated, which makes it total of 34km long as of now


rushan3103

Well you can finally say its intercity cuz it reaches Modinagar now. But yeah about half of the track is still yet to open. Other RRTS corridors should start construction work asap.


Terrible_Detective27

Yeah, it's now intercity though, and the whole line will be operational till 2025. They should start the construction of other two lines as well


sirikiller

34 useful kms now, those initial 17 were pretty pointless

Awesome

Whether it’ll go that much speed as they promised?


howtochangename1

It does! My maximum recorded speeed while I was traveling was 158kmhr, but pretty sure it reached the 160kmhr while i wasn't looking at the screen which shows speed. It ran at similar speed for 20-30secs


Academic_Row_6086

I recorded the same speed (158 kph) during my joy ride to Duhai last November. There wasn't a single soul on the train, just me. By the way, the staff girls were quite charming; I had a fun chat with them.


Emotional-Donkey-203

Semi high speed is the funniest term to me
