  • Fares are higher than regular scheduled trains; dynamic pricing may apply, particularly close to departure.
    ([turn0reddit22])
  • Coach condition may be older / maintenance less frequent – travelers note basic facilities, with limited cleanliness or reliability.

✅ Should You Use This Train?

Consider this train only if:

  • It fits your preferred travel dates and time constraints.
  • Other regular trains are fully booked or unavailable.
  • You’re okay with potential delays and carry essential provisions.

Otherwise, prefer alternatives like:

  • Sainagar Shirdi–Kalka Express (22455/22456) – bi-weekly, with pantry, runs via western/northern route to Delhi/Kalka.
    ([turn0search16]turn0search16])
  • Dadar–Sainagar Shirdi Superfast Express (22147/22148) – 6-hour direct service from Mumbai, better frequency and reliability.
