12051/52 MAO JNS:-
12051: Dadar Dep: 05:25 hrs, MAO arrival by 14:10 hours [No change]
12052: MAO Dep: 15:20 hrs, Dadar arrival by 23:40 hours [Speeded up by 15 mins]
02113/14 Shatabdi or proposed DD
02113: CSTM Dep: 06:15 hrs (For DD LTT Dep: 06:35 hrs), KRMI arrival by 14:20 hours [Speeded up by 30 mins]
02114: KRMI Dep: 15:20 hrs, CSTM arrival by 23:30 hours [Speeded up by 65 mins] (For DD LTT arrvl 23:10 hours)
The travel time in KR between Panvel to KRMI/MAO will stand reduced to 07:00 hours flat for JNS and 06:30 hours for Shatabdi (upto KRMI). Decent priority between PNVL -DR/CST should ensure an On time run.
