This train should start from CST instead with stops at Dadar, Thane, Kalyan , Bhiwandi and Vasai Road.
If Dibrugarh Rajdhani can have loco reversal at Barauni, Bhubaneshwar Rajdhani can have loco reversal at Kharagpur instead of raking bypass in both cases, this train should also take loco reversal at Kalyan.

Wholeheartedly agreed that when fast trains do not halt at Kopar, giving halts to long distance trains is a distant dream...
But Just like Vidhyavihar & Tilak Nagar caters to passengers who wish to board from LTT, similarly, I think Kopar (Upper) station can definitely cater to CR passengers for trains which moves from WR to KR & vice versa.

Nobody will disagree to see a priority train like rajdhani starting from CR.
