The train is quite safe in terms of luggage and personal safety.
FOOD: For 22105, No vendor would even dare to enter any of the coaches except for A/c chair car coach on this train because of the overcrowded population that the train carries with it. Well, in 22106 I have spotted many vendors on the train.
Important Tip to get a seat in general coach:
FOR 22105, you need to go to CSMT to get a seat in general coach, since its a daily train and runs on time people prefer to travel by this train. 22105 is extremely crowded right in every coach of its. Also, since train travels right up to Solapur, please keep in mind do approach near the door when it crosses Chinchwad because getting down at Shivajinagar & Pune from this train is a difficult task from any of its coaches because Solapur bound passengers make it difficult to get down from the coach.
FOR 22106, it is the last daily train for Mumbai from Pune and hence, the crowd is huge as always. General coaches are heavily packed since train comes from Solapur and hence do not expect a seat in general coach.

GN4 coach in the coach composition is MST coach.

U/R COACH: extremely crowded in both the directions...to get in u/r coach in 12127 in itself is a big challenge. The single u/r coach in 12127 towards the end is treated half as a ladies' compartment and half as general compartment.
Important Tip to get a seat in general coach:
FOR 12127 go directly to CSMT to get a seat in general coach, u can't get even space to enter in u/r coach from any of the intermediate stations.
FOR 12128, reach Pune stn around 5:20 wait for the indicator to show from which platform the train will depart and once platform no is decided, stand on the Daund end of that platform to quickly grab a seat in general coach.
