this route is good for Shirdi n best for Ahmadnagar people for going goa n it takes less time as compare to latur-parli-akola route B'coz that route takes four loco revers (at kurduwadi, latur, parli, akola) n from mohol (between kurduwadi n solapur) to akola, the route is single line, which decrease the train speed...
SUR-DD-MMR is also 80% single line but this route have no loco revers as well as NGP-DD route is fully electric n work is undr progres till solapur.
You can check kolhapur nagpur exp n pune amravati exp....

Both are going via latur akola..
n check pune nagpur, pune hatia, ajad hind exp... etc. n compare both in terms of timing n speed.
But i want to say that your train is best for solapur people for going/coming nagpur n vidarbh area Which is must be needed, i don't know the response about goa.
That is why i gave this green flag.

Okay - Apologies @DODO! You were right at some places and wrong at some others. (Perhaps this was a Retrospective effect for the error that I made between GDG and BGK in the Time Table of this IMG train)
And regarding timing from UD to MAO > I am right - Please see the pic attached.
And at other places I was wrong (again a Retro effect, I guess) - and now, I have corrected the same - Thanks for taking so much of your time to find my mistakes. ...

Its now corrected. And regarding UD to MAO most trains have an average SPEED of 71 kmph. But I also agree that most of them run late than their scheduled TIMES. - So let my IMG train run late too! :)
Having all said and done - I need a Green flag now! Please. :) :) :D
