Pune: There was a speed limit of 65 kmph as a safety measure from 2008 on the Pune-Daund railway route due to \u20182 turn out\u2019 near the Loni Railway Station. This was affecting train traffic. The railway administration recently removed the \u20182 turn outs\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, the tough OHE work at the same place was also cleared. As a result, trains can travel at a speed of 130 kmph through the section. This has saved at least 5-7 minutes of travel time for passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a danger of accidents at the place due to \u20182 turn out\u2019 on the route from Loni to Daund. Therefore, the railway administration decided to slow down the speed of trains passing through the section as a safety measure. At that time, the train speed on the route was 110 kmph. However, 65 kmph speed in the section was temporary but it continued for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was decided to change the place of \u20182 turn out\u2019 in 2017-18. It was approved also. But the work was not completed due to some reasons. DRM Indu Dubey recently directed to complete the work, which was done within eight days, increasing the speed of trains passing through the section. It will benefit passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNecessary works to increase train speed have been done. Thus, the earlier speed restriction has been removed. Now, speed of trains has increased. Passengers will benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
