Gatimaan's record speed of 160 km per hour (kph) would be a marginal improvement over the maximum 150 kph clocked currently by Bhopal Shatabdi on the same route.
A call was received at the railway control room here from Delhi and the caller said there was a bomb in the Shatabdi Express following which the district police was alerted.
Final touches are being given to the commencement of the new high speed Delhi-Bhopal Shatabdi express due to start between Delhi and Agra at a speed of 150 km per hour from February 15.
Locally manufactured coaches can achieve similar speeds as Talgo trains.
