For. declaring
Mail/Express
trains
as
superfast
trains
for
the
purpose of levy of supplementary
charge (i.e. superfast surcharge),
only the
average speed of the trains train is taken into consideration.
For this purpose,
the average speed of the train will be 55 kmph or more for Broad Gauge trains
and 45 kmph or more for Metre Gauge trains.
The average speed is calculated
by dividing the ehd-tq-end distance by the total journey time. The average speed
criteria needs to be satisfied in both up and down directions for a particular pair
of train. Zonal Railways themselves declare the train as superfast when it fulfils
the requisite speed criteria.
