Every one of us has been on a part of train journey once in our lives. Have you noticed that the train runs faster at night? Tap to know the surprising answer!
During the day, the train stops at several small stations for passengers, whereas during the night, it stops at fewer stations.
As fewer trains operate during the nighttime, signalling becomes more efficient. Trains get a green signal instantly, increasing their speed.
You must have noticed that the night trains are prioritised over other trains. They are ensured with minimal stops and maximum speed.
During the day, the temperature rises, causing a slower speed. On the contrary, nights are cooler. The tracks remain steady, leading to increased speed.
Track maintenance also disturbs the speed of the train. During the day, track maintenance goes on, whereas there are no such activities during the night.
As per DNA, during the daytime, there are various types of trains on the track, leading to decreased speed. At night, there are fewer trains.
