Railways is planning to roll out a ‘zero-based’ timetable for all trains. This means that the schedule and frequency of the earlier time-table of passenger trains will be revised giving the railways flexibility to reduce the number of halts of mail/express trains and some other trains as well.
The reduced number of halts in the new zero-based time table is expected to reduce the travel time as trains can run nonstop for longer distances.
151 trains that are to be operated by private players will also be a part of the zero-based timetable.
