This train is very nice and useful to travel.Dont worry about the seat u will be getting the reserved confirmed seat even when u r booking before 1 day of journey(excluding the vacation time holiday).Even if u r not getting confirmed ticket u can travel by general compartment as it is fully empty.I was travelling by this train on 7 Nov 2015 between LTT TO KARAD.I boarded at LTT and all the general compartments were not having so much rush.U can easily grab the window seat also.This train is usually follows the 11029 MUMBAI KOLHAPUR KOYNA EXPRESS till MIRAJ JN. Hence if want to travel to pune,satara,karad and miraj it is better to travel by this train insted of KOYNA EXPRESS if u want to avoid rush and get the sit. But this train has most of the times red signals and it is stopped for crossing purposes for so...
more... much time.But reaches the halts at scheduled time.
