Memorable Skips of the 12219 Duronto Exp. (July 19-20, 2017) : This was my first trip on a premier all-AC train from Mumbai to Secunderabad and I was mighty excited about it. Due to loco failure of a train ahead (LTT-CBE), we were 1 hour 50 mts. late at Pune but a cracking run, thereafter, allowed us to recover nearly 50 minutes till Wadi. Pune to Wadi was covered in just 5 hours 20 mts with an impressive average speed of 77 kmph.
This video showcases the train running through the following eight stations:
