New Delhi: The Indian Railways is working on introducing ‘zero-based’ time-table for all trains, once the train services normalise in the post-Covid-19 period to improve efficiency in train services.
The zero-based time-table will allow Railways to scrap some of the existing stoppages of mail/express trains and increase the speed of trains. The Railways has roped in IIT-Mumbai to prepare zero-based time-table. As per the current proposal, existing total 5,500 to 6,000 stoppages in the Railway network may be scrapped, said an official.
