दौड़ती है हिमालय तट से सागर, हमसफ़र हर राह पर, हवाई जहाज़ों को त्याग कर, करो अक्सर, भारतीय रेल में सफर. - Arpit P

.Yes.I agree.Its schedule should be so altered that it reaches kalyan between 7.00 to 8.00 A.M., so that kolhapur ,miraj, sangli, karad people have one more train which reaches early in the morning in mumbai.No waste of day as it happens for current sahyadri scedule.
Also it will reduce bourden on Mahlaxmi express
Also if it is extended towards Surat, western line is also accessible.

@guest: Re# 51219-1 what if Sahyadri exp is run as Surat Bangalore express

---

this train is essentially the earst while Poona Mail, which eventually was extended to kolhapur after DQ took over. So natuarally the schedule was designed to cater mumbai pune passengers. Thngs dont seem to have changed since. And frankly this train does get patronage not primarily from pune junction but all the suburban stations around pune. This is the only train apart from sinhagad which halts at multiple stations around pune. if this is moved around, it will cause a lot of inconviniencce to daily passengers boardin this train

---

More imortant is the fact that it is the only morning train out of pune that halts at dadar

---

ooops i meant to say halts at THANE . Dony know what i was thinking when i typed dadar earlier
