From my own recent experience, most of the stations were already reached 10-20 minutes ahead of schedule, in spite of slowing down/waiting before the respective stations. From New Delhi to Mumbai:
1. Kota was reached 10 minutes ahead, and forced to wait till Dep time.
2. Nagda was reached 20 minutes ahead, and forced to wait till Dep time.
3. Vadodara was reached 10

minutes ahead, and forced to wait till Dep time.
4. Surat was reached 10 minutes ahead, and forced to wait till Dep time.
.
So even without increasing speed/2 engines, etc, the TT can easily be shortened by 1 hour. But it looks like the Railways would "like" to speed it up and reach "ahead" of schedule, so as to maintain a good impression that the "train is never late".
.
As for AK from Mumbai to NZM, the slack was even worse. In spite of reaching most of the stations almost 20 minutes ahead of schedule (and forced to depart at the right time), the train was waiting outside NZM/Faridabad for close to 1 hour!!!

@all:
When there are big accidents/incidents, it is seen that the mainstream news media often gets the train number, station and other info wrong. For this particular instance, the train number given out by many news outlets is 74943 - Jalandhar-Nakodar DEMU, which does not even go to ASR. All news links in IRI are now tagged as 74643 - Jalandhar-Amritsar DEMU, which seems to be the correct train.

these times, IRI can do a better job of disseminating accurate info, by checking, verifying and tagging stations/trains correctly.
Thanks.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
