Despite the train time is very much ideal for Surat people, the occupancy level is abysmally low. Just replace this train by Jan Shatabdi type and provide both ACCC / II class compartments only. Will then be a big, big success. Also the pressure on Flying Ranee and other passing fast trains at Surat would ease. However stop at Borivali / Andheri is must for the success.
