The decision to shift the departure platform of Deccan Queen was taken after the authorities decided to attach an additional coach to several trains that previously used to arrive at platform 1 including Jhelum Express, Azad Hind Express and Patliputra Express.
All these trains have now become 24 coach trains.Among the six platforms on Pune Railway Station, only Platform 1 has the capacity to host a 24-coach rake.
