Re# 751941-23              
Sorry. Little oversight. As per the coaches allocation for these two durontos they can easily form 3 rakes.
With Two rakes:
Mon - MAS - TVC
Tuer - TVC - MAS
Wed - MAS

- MDU
Thu - MDU - MAS
Fri - MAS - TVC
Sat - TVC - MAS
Sun - MAS - MDU
Mon - MDU - MAS
Tue - MAS - CST/LTT
Wed - CST/LTT - MAS
Fri - MAS - CST/LTT
Sat - CST/LTT - MAS
We can have Bi-Weekly for MDU, TVC & Mumbai.
If one more spare rake is utilized then all the three can be made Tri-Weekly.
The MDU Duronto can be speeded up and can be made to reach MAS by 6 AM and after Primary Maintenance can start to TVC/Mumbai in the evening after 4 PM.
In Mumbai after Secondary maintenace for 6 Hrs it can again start around 10 PM and reach MAS at 7 AM which can provide ample time for maintenance. Thanks.

Re# 751941-25              
LOL..... This wud be the baap of all trains running on IR if it has to depart From CSTM @ 10 pm n arrive MAS @ 07.00 am....

I however agree that with 3 rakes all these services can be made biweekly. But getting an extra rake is cumbersome and SR should first optimize the availability of existing rakes....

Sir if MAS-MDU-MAS duronto would have done wonders if operated on Weekends.. It was a mistake on SR's part. So patronage cannot be a problem.
MAS-CSTM/LTT sector needs a Daily AC express desperately...
So it would be useful to demand the 4th daily service, this time from SR.
Because all 3 dailies are operated by CR.

cannot really understand why SR has no plans for MAS-CSTM/LTT route.

Good reply sir... MAS-CSTM needs a daily AC express/Duronto... In addition, the weekly GR should run as a regular train between MAS-PUNE.
