This train seems to have departed with ACCC - 557 available seats out of total 608 seats and AC1st Class - 33 available seats out of total 33 seats)
I agree with the response that the train is meant for Surat people.
However the response for morning Mumbai Bound Shatabdi spl is also poor and very low occupancy appears.

from Flying Ranee, number of other fast trains are also available with timing wise hardly any difference say more time of 30 to 45 minutes. However with a stop at Borivali, Andheri & Dadar, the train serves the passenger utility of reaching faster to their ulitmate destination. Here apart from high fare, one has to spend extra time and extra money either for Taxi, Auto or Local train. Also the conveyance conditions at Bandra Rly Station is not satisfactory and since the Rly station is on the far side of the East, one has to take a long walk to catch a local train after alighting from Shatabdi spl at BDTS. 3

WR would definitely rethink on the regularisation of this train after the experimental period is over. And for that matter, they are requested to consider following factors :- a) Replace this Shatabdi train by Jan Shatabdi type train b) Introduction of Lean time fare structure c)
Introduce paid catering service as against compulsory catering d) provide stop at Andheri / Borivali e) Extend Surat -Vasai Rd-Surat Shatabdi spl to Borivali. Thanks in advance.
