"Deccan queen is scheduled to depart at 5.10 pm from platform no of 9 from chhatrapati shivaji terminus" <3 <3
This announcement is always a treat to deccan queen train passengers whenever they travel in this train ЁЯШО
So,after trying the Intercity and Deccan express it was time for the "legendary train" on mumbai pune route,it was none other than the 12123 mumbai csmt to pune deccan queen express.

train run is impressive,cleaning is top notch,food is excellent,and top of it is the best behavioural canteen staffs.!
The dining car adds to the icing cake on it
Here are my reviews, travelled on 16/02/2019.Coach C4
тЧПPunctuality:-A top notch priority is given to this train on the whole route.It trails the badlapur fast local,but maintains the gap.Enjoy the skippings of dadar,thane and kalyan.!
From Lonavala to Shivaji nagar,a good speed is being maintained.
тЧПMaintainence:-Excellent.The train is well maintained and passengers also doesn't litter much.Toilets are too well maintained.
тЧПFood:-Please,Please it's my humble request to go the "Dining car",the only train in india having a mobile restaurant type.Enjoy the skippings and bhor ghats by having a tea or snacks with your friends sitting in a table of 4.!,For going to dining car,Take C4 or D3 as it is near to D.C
тЧПAvability:-Since it skips dadar,thane,kalyan people prefer other trains but this train gets full from csmt on weekdays.Although on weekends train goes empty.Book in advance if festival is around
Any point is missing/wrong/add? feel free to communicate :)

@all:
The PNR Forum as we know it is OVER. The official website has unilaterally decided to thoroughly block and shut down all access to PNR info. We had put in MANY, many years of PAINSTAKING effort to develop the PNR Prediction infrastructure, and our Sr. Legendary Members have helped countless people through their travel anxieties over the past TEN YEARS.

Members should be given MEDALS for PUBLIC SERVICE, instead of being treated like this!!! I ask, why NOT at least a Padma Shri to rdb? ALL of that has now been ground to dust in an instant. Our members will be disappointed. Travellers who have come to rely on our Sr. Members to help them over the years may take anxiety medications instead.
.
The world will move on. The existence of IRI will soon be forgotten.
.
I shall be ending the post here, as words will NOT DO ANY JUSTICE to this atrocity.

One of the most important station of Central railways.From here,you can get buses of pmpml to different parts of pune city.Also,for going towards mumbai,Volvo and scania buses of MSRTC are available near pune railway station,walkable distance of 2 mins.Taxi is also avaible but they charge high.
Swargate bus stand is little bit far away but pmpml buses/auto are avaible.Swargate is one of the busiest and important bus station as from here many routes are avaible to go towards like kolhapur,nashik,nagpur,baramati,solapur etc.
Strict 5-6 TCs will be there for checking the ticket at pune

station.
From pune station,two different routes gets diverged:- One towards miraj and one towards daund.
One of the best place for railfanning,though regularly guarded by rpfs so be careful.
Local EMU services for lonavala are avaible at pune.
Washrooms Restaurants are avaible at platform no 1.

Disclaimer:-This is my first station tip.Any correction to be made is highly welcomed

So,after a long time posting a train tip here!
After trying the 12127/28 intercity express,i'd thought of trying the "11007 mumbai pune deccan express" which is a bit crawler towards going pune and vice versa.But train didn't disappointed me though.I boarded the train on 21 december 2018 and here are my observations:-
Punctuality:-Despite having a good number of halts,it arrives pune ontime or else 15-20 mins late.Sometimes it halts at pune outer for clearnce.This train can be termed as "compensation" of Intercity and LTT vskp wherein these 2 trains skip major stations like

Kalyan.
Cleanliness:-Absolute top notch,for ac chair car though :p.Actually train is clean throughout the journey and its the public who litters it.!
Food:-For breakfast,Tea/Coffee,Bread cutlet, bread omlette,Samosa is avaible.Regular vendors board this train and they bring idli vada etc.Do try these foods,they are cheap in price and delicious too.!
Avability:-Seats generally remain vacant, depending whether there is season or not.However book tickets least 15 days in advance,for Ac cc specially.
Railfanning:-One of the excellent train for railfanning.I did my rf from my ac cc coach.Even ac attendant didn't utter a word.Enjoy the scentic bhor ghat.It halts at monkey hill cabin,khandala etc.
Any point is misleading/wrong/u wanna add? pls comment!

Sahyadri express is probably the slowest train in kolhapur-mumbai route.It takes 13 hours to cover a distance of 516 kms.! but a super train for railfanning and for sleep lovers too. :p
Daily passengers from pune try to grab a seat.
I travelled on this train on 21 november 2018 from kolhapur to thane.I m not new on this train, though.The first time i travelled on this train was on 2006 but from Mumbai to kolhapur.

on 2nd ac.Here are my few observations:-
Punctuality:-Don't worry if this train gets late enroute.Thanks to huge slack,this train always arrives pune 10 mins before time to 15 mins maximum late.From pune to mumbai,it takes around 5 hours to complete the journey.A pune wdm3d hauls the train from kolhapur to pune and from pune to mumbai wcam2p/3 of kalyan takes charge.
Cleanliness:-Excellent.Toilet was top notch and being 2A,it was cleaned much more good.
Food:-No dinner avaible.Make sure you pack from hotel itself.For breakfast veg cutlet/omlette/idli vada are avaible.
Avability:-Purchase tickets upto atleast one month in advance as punekars prefer this train first.From pune onwards train is empty generally.
Railfanning:-Awesome train.Faces the daily wrath of overtakes by Deccan queen,pragati express etc.Some other trains like sc ltt durunto,ypr jp suvidha too overtake this train.
Any point is missing/wrong/u wanna add? please comment..:)

3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.
