Only applicable for pax travelling beyond Miraj. As this train is having less number of SL/AC coaches compared to other trains on this route up to Miraj, Getting a confirmed ticket will be early booking task. No need to worry if you have made end moment plan. Book a ticket in 11023 Sahyadri Exp till Miraj, which has good chances because of more reserved coaches and from Mrj you can again catch this Ltt-Ubl exp in next 30 mins, which will have few seats available from there. Go for BPT for single onward ticket. Advantages are
1. You can board at CSTM, DR, KYN(11023), no worry of boarding at LTT, Panvel(17318)
2....
more... Sahyadri has good halts at Pune Suburbs like Talegaon, Dehu, Pimpri, Khadki, Shivajinagar, can be boarded at any near by station, with avoiding to go up to Pune Jn
Only disadvantage is to make a changeover at Miraj in early morning around 5 am
