money and energy???!!!
do you know the kind of tracks we have cant afford to have a traing like this running on them. in Arrah district where normally Rajdhani dosnt go, for some reason Rajdhani was made to run on the tracks in Arrah in bihar. the tracks were about to come out and every day maintenance were being done to make a safe run to this train for some days.
if we need such a fast train then we shall have to change the entire tracks in india. and now you can think about the time, money and energy you will need to invest in this before we start saving them.

Its not the infrastructure incapability alone in the Railways. Its not cost effective ...do you think you would pay ... 4000 rs for a train journey to chennai to bangalore ... that runns for aronund 1.5 hour. Not possible right ... so its a game plan that is correct... but we can definitely improve the speed now ... may 150 - 200 average speed with the same cost cutting benefits ... who knows that would prove good
