Looks like 12809/12810 Mumbai Mail and 12859/12860 Gitanjali Express are going to see significant changes within a few days, starting in July:

Both could see speed increase by a bit, and may end up with an RSA arrangement. It would make sense, as that would free up one rake (7-rakes shared between the two versus 8-rakes they currently use).

Bombay/Mumbai - Howrah Mail via Nagpur was never number 8009/8010. This is how the numbering progressed:
1 Down/2 Up (Superfast) 8001 Down/8002 Up (Non-SF) 2809 Down/2810 Up (upgraded back to Superfast) 12809 Down/12810 Up

I've tracked this train since I took my first ever overnight journey from Raipur to Bombay VT back in 1975 as a three year old.

I still recall green/cream-yellow livery. I actually have its 1969 time table as well (which shows an AC express train also ran on the route at the time).
