Train No. 1024 Sahyadri Express from Kolhapur to CSTM.
The train has too many halts and is generally preferred for travel between Kolhapur & Pune only. The other train on this route 1011/1012 Mahalaxmi Express (Kolhapur to CSTM) is generally full.
The passenger who do not book ticket in 1012 (because of high waiting list ) use Private Buses for the journey. To stop these passenger from using the buses and better utilization of this train i will recommend the following changes.
1)...
more... Reduce the number of stoppages.
2) Its schedule should be so altered that it reaches CSTM between 8.00 to 9.00 A.M.
If these changes are made many more passengers will be using this train for the entire route.
