The plan of Indian Railways to extend the operations of Gatimaan Express from Jhansi to Bhopal, running parallel to the existing Bhopal Shatabdi Express has attracted ire from the frequent Delhi-Agra route travellers who are claiming that the railways is bent on destroying a perfectly good train that was a tourist attraction right now.

India’s fastest train Gatimaan Express route has been extended to Gwalior and Jhansi which will affect its speed. The train which runs at a speed of 160 Kmph will slow down to 130 kmph.
