Thiruvananthapuram: The new railway timetable coming into effect from July 1 would witness the speeding up of over 80 trains running through the Thiruvananthapuram division. The running time will be reduced by five minutes to an hour. The maximum speed limit will be increased from 100 km per hour to 110 km.The new initiative will help the railways increase its line capacity and result in operating more trains through this sector. This is  because the railways could not introduce new trains as the division lacked the capacity for the same. The trains will be speeded up with minimal change in the current timings.Sources said that there would also be an increase in the maximum speed on the Shoranur–Mangalore line  during the same period.Divisional Railway Manager Rajesh Agarwal told Deccan Chronicle that there are also plans to increase the running time of the trains further during the next one year. The infrastructure in the division would be improved to ensure this, Agarwal said.The Thiruvananthapuram railway division operates 80 express and 60 passenger trains daily carrying  2.6 lakh commuters daily.
