The former allows for permanent way slacks (or speed restrictions) and any slight delays enroute. The latter allows for the fact that the train might have to give way to another train at a station or junction. The 1h43 run was staged so that the track would be perfect and no other train would be in the way. Basically it allows the train to arrive on time.<br><b>References : </b><br>Railway worker Recovery time and pathing allowance.
