New Delhi Railway Station is the busiest railway station in India by passenger traffic, handling over 400,000 passengers daily.

Total time = 6 hours, Actual travel time = 5 hours, Average speed = 360 ÷ 5 = 72 km/h. But total elapsed time is 6 hours, so 360 ÷ 7 = 51.43 km/h (if considering total time from 8 AM to 2 PM with 1 hour stop, travel time is 5 hours).

Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 1920 ÷ 80 = 24 hours = 1 day
