Your train journey from Delhi to Mumbai might come down to a little less than 12 hours. Ever since the Spanish train Talgo has been brought to India, Indians who prefer train travel seem to be quite excited. And yesterday’s Talgo run has given some more reasons to rejoice.
In its final leg of test runs, Talgo train that started from Delhi at 2:45 in the afternoon reached Mumbai at 3:15 in the morning, thus covering 1,384 distance in little more than 12 hours.

Nine super light-weight coaches manufactured by Spanish firm Talgo, which can hit 200 km per hour, were imported to Mumbai in April.
Although the Talgo train reached Mumbai yesterday 18 minutes late in its third trial. The train was scheduled to reach its destination by 2:57AM.

The Indian Railways had conducted the first trial run of Talgo trains on the Bareilly-Moradabad stretch in Uttar Pradesh, followed by the second trial run was conducted on the Palwal-Mathura section of the North-Central Railway.
