Best wishes on the start of Superfast weekly Yuva train between Mumbai - New Delhi.
The train does have intermediate stops @ Surat, Vadodara, Ratlam, Kota & Mathura.
However, as per the announcement in the Rly budget, the Yuva train was supposed to run from point to point (meaning non-stop).

gives the hope for fullfillment of a desire for much needed stops in duronto trains.
Although 60% are reserved for Yuva category, the rest 40% will be very much useful for non-yuva passengers as there is always heavy traffic on this route.
Looking at conditions for Yuva category fare, I have my own apprehensions that these are easily workable and therefore expect that many unutilised Yuva category quota seats will be passed on to the general passengers.

Yuva was never meant to be a non stop train. It is Duronto which is a non stop train. Yuva is meant for young people who cannot afford high prices.

From the budget speech of 2009-2010 (last year)...........
Yuva Trains:
....... I will run “Yuva Trains” dedicated specially for the young generation.
The new low-priced fast train service will run from point to point for distances ranging from 1000 km to 2500 km. The fare will be Rs 299 for distances up to 1500 km and Rs 399 for distances up to

2500 km.
The train will provide air conditioned seated accommodation and A weekly service will be introduced as a pilot service in the following sections
a) Mumbai to Delhi ; b) Delhi to Kolkata.....
Anyway, now we have Yuva trains on these routes with intermediate stops and that is indeed good. Wish all success for Yuva trains.
