This Google Map screenshot taken is in between Bhadli & Jalgaon.
I could not understand the logic/purpose behind this.
While going to Jalgaon from Bhadli, the left most track goes up away and crosses the main line and lands down again at right side and goes parallel to it,
Can someone help me to understand?

This is to sure that Surat going trains will run on 3rd line and down trains will be On 4th line so, at Jalgaon these trains will directly taken on 4th and 5th platform . Also, it ensures smooth running of mumbai bound trains. These trains will be separated at bhusaval junction and will occupy 3rd 4th line to travel. Also, on right side there is locality in Jalgaon so due to space not available they are taking it to the left.

Should be made to run from CSMT at 15.30 or 15.45. for convenience of timings.
Jalgaon halt is foolish and by providing a halt to Rajdhani there instead of Bhusaval Jn. is absurd.
Just for 1 train all train authority management would have to bear. Like staff,Crew change,etc by providing a halt at Jalgaon.
All facilities are there at Bhusaval Jn. which is a

Jalgaon Is District HQ with 7-8 lakhs of Population, proximity to World Famous Ajintha Ellora caves, Not Against Bhusaval Stoppage but not at the cost of Skipping Jalgaon. I think these reasons are enough to have a halt at jalgaon and CR has done a good job by daring to Skip Bhusaval.

I like everything about this Rajdhani except the Jalgaon halt. It seems to be a more political decision. I have been opposed to it from the very beginning. Like the Durontos and other trains, it should have skipped Jalgaon and halted at Bhusaval. The latter is a divisional HQ, a big junction and has crew change facilities. Jalgaon might be a bigger town but is not big enough to warrant a Rajdhani halt.
Here is a post from Farhan Sheikh in FB:

Shaikh: I have spent 2 years rigorously travelling between Mumbai and Jalgaon / Bhusawal....actually both the cities are well connected by road 24x7. People from JL always used to travel to BSL and take their respective trains which was not difficult at all.... But Politics have always won and will always win...."
I have personally experienced something similar having boarded trains from Mughalsarai when living in Varanasi. MGS is regarded as a satellite halt for Varanasi and people have no problem catching trains from there.
Now just to make this happen, the crew from BSL will be transported by car between Jalgaon and Bhusaval. How is it justified that the hardworking crew has to undergo this just for the JL halt? Sooner or later, BSL is going to show up as a tech halt and converted to commercial later. Also the JL halt has opened the door for others to follow - Manmad, Khandwa, Gwalior. So, how many of you would like to see this Rajdhani with 9 commercial halts? That is what I fear the most.
I have seen this happen all too often in the last 30 years. August Kranti Rajdhani started with TWO COMMERCIAL HALTS. Look where it is now. Hoping against hope my fear doesn't come true.

I don't know whether your are from JALGAON or not but I think you don't know about present scanerio. Some points need to be cleared:-
1.I Agree that Bhusaval is a Junction and priority should be given ahead of JL but dont forget JL is District HQ with 7-8 lakhs population
2. Jalgaon is second most important city after nashik as also known as Golden City where lot of people travel just to buy gold.
3.

World Famous Ajintha Caves are just 55 km away from JL which gives this region a chance to develop with more no. Of people visiting here by getting Rajdhani Connectivity to Mumbai and Delhi.
4. By the way Jalgaon is also a Junction with one line going to Mumbai and one line (Recently Doubled) to Gujarat and in future may be third line going to solapur.
5. Bhusaval Jalgaon is connected by road but it takes 40 minutes to reach BSL station with MSRTC buses getting crowded in evening and morning so you have to leave home at least 30-45 minutes earlier so total travel time is 110-125 minutes.
6. Last but not the least, this is Central Railways Rajdhani , it should benefit the people of CR no matter what people says it will be a Huge Hit.

With all due Respect, I Appreciate your stand on this issue as JL was Constantly ignored for premium train stops which includes Patna BDTS Humsafar, Vadodara Mahanama Exp, Pune Santaragachi Humsafar, Nagpur Pune Garibrath, Antyoday Express, Pune Kazipet SF, Jabalpur Pune SF, LTT Nizamuddin AC exp etc. Don't know the specific reason but these trains got automatic Halt at BSL due to its reputation as Junction and then CR used to say that's it's not possible to give stops to these trains in distance of 24 KM.

No, I travelled on 3rd Nov Goa Saket and gitanjali was made to halt at vaghli chalisgaon hirapur, upto hirapur work is completed I think 1 month more is required upto jalgaon and dont forget the S& T block at Igatpuri...No guarantee of any train to reach destination on-time.

Total troll by CR today for 12779 and 12859. 12859 overtaken by 15017, 12519 and 12336 in NK BSL section, 12779 by 15017 and 12519 in MMR BSL and now 12336 at Raver.
Now a days both 12779 and 12859 seems to be always getting delayed in MMR JL section taking long unscheduled halts at stations like Chalisgaon, Hirapur, Galan, etc.
If some works are going on then how come other trains got cleared over these two and hell a M/E 15017 getting precedence over 2 SFs. Great job CR.
