Ahmedabad - Mumbai - Pune route is using Electric DC line, once it will get converted to AC line it will add speed. Also IR are planing to add two more lines on this route so wait for some time. for Highspeed Train

The DC Electric system is used around Bombay (This includes Mumbai CST - Kalyan, Kalyan - Pune, Kalyan - Igatpuri, Mumbai CST - Belapur - Panvel, and Churchgate - Virar). There are plans to change this to 25kV AC by 2010.
Throughout the rest of the country, on all electrified routes, AC Electric system is used.

Thanks for your information. Well, I am aware that there is 40% jack up in kms. between Roha and Mangalore, but the saving in kms by going through this route as against earlier long route will almost equalise the fares or even result in saving. eg. the kms distance between Mumbai CSTM to Trivandrum via Konkan Rly route and Via Pune earlier long route is drastically reduced. Apart from this considerable saving in travel time, one gets in bonus.

As feared, the Bandra-Surat Shatabdi Spl (0985) has been rescheduled leaving Bandra @ 19.15 hrs and reaching Surat @ 23.30.
The travel time has been increased by 40 minutes i.e. travel time now is 4hr 15 min as against earlier time of 3 hr 40 min. Also stops at Andheri and Navsari ( 2 min. each) has been provided for.
The overall increase in travel time goes against the Shatabdi status.

The timings of this train have now been scheduled to run behind Mumbai-Jaipur Superfast and Avantika Express. A better time would have been to depart from Bandra by 6:45 pm so that it could run in front of these 2 trains and reach Surat by 10-10:15 pm.

One of the reasons may be other Superfast trains running ahead. Just consider Mumbai-Jaipur Superfast and Avantika both starting from Mumbai Central and taking only 3 hr 40 min and 3 hr 48 min ( 10 min reduced for Mumbai Central to Bandra time) respectively whereas this shatabdi spl with shatabdi fare of Rs. 465/- takes 4 hr 15 min. Total collapse of the train success. Even if the time is advanced to 6.45pm or even later @ 9.30 pm, the train will run almost empty as the travel time and fare both go against the passengers flavour.
The ideal way to run the train is simple SF train without compulsory catering with II class and CC coaches and...
