Vijayawada bypass line bulb line is at 1.6km from station and in both lines there is PSR of 15kmph for every train. 1.6 km takes 6 mins another 3 mins on PF for arriving total 9 mins for one side plus stoppage pf 15 mins for LC plus another 9 Mins to cross the bulb Junction point again. Total loop time is 33 mins for Vja stoppage. If diverted via bypass then in bypass line 1.5km takes 6 mins and stoppage at rayanapadu for 10mins for crew change. The effective saving is 3mins PF arriving + 3 mins PF departing + 6 mins back to bulb and another 5 mins at RY total 17 mins only. If Duronto is run on main line via bypass max they will give 9 hrs with 130kmph. Any way we will see how much time they will save in Vskp Vja section when...
more... they implement 130kmph in TT from Oct 2023.
please wait...Translate to EnglishThe Vijayawada bypass line bulb line is 1.6km away from the station and for every train, there is a speed restriction (PSR) of 15kmph in both lines. It takes 6 minutes to cover the 1.6km distance, another 3 minutes on the platform for arrival, making it a total of 9 minutes for one side. Plus, there is a 15-minute stoppage for LC (line clearance) and another 9 minutes to cross the bulb junction point. So, the total time for the loop is 33 minutes for a stop at Vijayawada.
If the train is diverted via the bypass line, it takes 6 minutes to cover 1.5km, and there is a 10-minute stoppage at Rayanapadu for crew change. The effective time saved is 3 minutes for arrival on the platform, 3 minutes for departure from the platform, 6 minutes for going back to the bulb junction, and 5 minutes at Rayanapadu, making it a total of 17 minutes only.
If Duronto (a specific type of train) is run on the main line via the bypass, they can provide a maximum of 9 hours with a speed of 130kmph. Anyway, we will see how much time they will save in the Visakhapatnam-Vijayawada section when they implement 130kmph in the timetable starting from October 2023.
