IR is so over-hyped about the HS concept, now every new train introduced is Humsafar. In reality, it's not worth it. The whole concept of HS is flop.
For this route IMO, they should have considered ACSF or normal SF instead of HS, WITHOUT dynamic fare, and with more halts. The concept of dynamic fare was OK until it was limited to Premium trains, but after that, it defeated its purpose. Who would pay 1.5 times the fare to travel in 3A, when you can get 2A for the same price on non-dynamic fare trains? That too for a train with avg speed 52 kmph? Ridiculous.
I'll...
more... continue to boycott this train when I travel UDZ-PUNE or UDZ-SBC, and just transfer in mumbai like I have done for ages. The inconvenience is worth it.
