Looks like 12809/12810 Mumbai Mail and 12859/12860 Gitanjali Express are about to see significant changes within a few days, that will go into effect in July:
Booking Suspended
I suspect it will involve speed increase, possible elimination of a few stops, realignment of coaches, and an RSA between the two. RSA will allow freeing up of one full rake as the two would be able to use 7-rakes as opposed to 8-rakes with 4 each.

RSA of both can be done easily and CC can be 2 EOG, 2 GEN, 11 SL, 4 AC3, 1 AC2, 1 HA & 1PC total 22 Coach LHB Rake.
RSA will not create problem at HWH end but at Mumbai end, how train reach Mumbai at 5.25 turn around in 35 min and depart as Geetanjali? what about Departure of Mail which is 20.35 at Mumbai End and arrival of Geetanjali is 21.25? If there will reaaly any chances of RSA between Mail and Geetanjali then IR will be work hard on speeding up Geetanjali and Mail and for tat purpose removing halts will be mandatory, so it will be interesting to see how IR work on this.
Jaydatar Rsa 1 End pe hota hai
Yaha dono train ser ki hai PM SRC karta hai to Rsa usi end banega na

RSA will be at the HWH end. At the CSTM end, only one rake sits for most part (Mail arrives at 5.25 or so, when Gitanjali is ready to head out, and Mail is gone by the time Gitanjali arrives at night). At the HWH end, Mail sits in the yard for 15 hours, while Gitanjali's previous day's rake is also laying idle (to depart in the afternoon), and the second Gitanjali rake also arrives couple of hours before the previous Gitanjali leaves (during this time, there are three rakes sitting in the yard).
If I were doing RSA, I would consider Mail reaching HWH around 4.30 am, and that rake leaving as Gitanjali about 10 hours later (sufficient time for PM)....
