Hi,
I am not sure why IR has given this train as superfast tag. if i compare its second half journey i.e from vadodara to pune
it departs from vadodara @ 21.53 and reaches pune at 8:05AM, while a simple express train for eg kolhapur express (TN:1049) which depart from vadodara @21.53 and reaches pune 8.00 AM. So my question is that if an ordinary train takes same time as superfast then why we are paying extra superfast charge.
and
...
more...

First half of this train (jaipur to vadodara) takes almost 12.4-13 hours but other trains on this route like jp mum superfast and jp bdts superfast takes only11-11.5 hours. why this trains is slow in comparison of other superfast trains.

marusagar runs only on friday...goa sampark kranti on monday and saturday and this train runs on tuesday..so all trains are on different days....so most probably they'd make this train's timetable same as marusagar express

Yes, but on different days these set of trains are overtaken by the other set of trains and also Vadodara Express daily due to which they take more time in the Vadodara-Pune stretch.

I know yaar only Trivandrum rajdhani and Vadodara overtake this train, but this train shares the same time as 2 other trains(1049 and 9312). It is for ease of operation for Railways that they have put all the 3 trains in the same time on different days. As suggested by another blogger, they can make the timings in the same slot as Marusagar Express. Also Pune Duronto leaves Vadodara at same time and reaches Pune at 7:20 am. So thay can maybe match the timings with Pune Duronto between Vadodara and Pune.
