As feared, the Bandra-Surat Shatabdi Spl (0985) has been rescheduled leaving Bandra @ 19.15 hrs and reaching Surat @ 23.30.
The travel time has been increased by 40 minutes i.e. travel time now is 4hr 15 min as against earlier time of 3 hr 40 min. Also stops at Andheri and Navsari ( 2 min. each) has been provided for.
The overall increase in travel time goes against the Shatabdi status.

rescheduling has been done in view of low occupancy factor which was apprehended earlier by the blogger. [Refer blog entry Nos. 17520 ; 17254 ; 17145 ] The fare remains @ 465/- for AC CC.
The Gujarat shatabdi takes 3 hr 15 min to Surat and that too from Mumbai Central. Not only that number of other Superfast trains on this route take less time than this Shatabdi spl. It is unfortunate that fares are unchanged and charged as Shatabdi type. This is unfair and needs to be reconsidered by the concerned WR officers.

The timings of this train have now been scheduled to run behind Mumbai-Jaipur Superfast and Avantika Express. A better time would have been to depart from Bandra by 6:45 pm so that it could run in front of these 2 trains and reach Surat by 10-10:15 pm.

Re# 18286-2              
One of the reasons may be other Superfast trains running ahead. Just consider Mumbai-Jaipur Superfast and Avantika both starting from Mumbai Central and taking only 3 hr 40 min and 3 hr 48 min ( 10 min reduced for Mumbai Central to Bandra time) respectively whereas this shatabdi spl with shatabdi fare of Rs. 465/- takes 4 hr 15 min. Total collapse of the train success. Even if the time is advanced to 6.45pm or even later @ 9.30 pm, the train will run almost empty as the travel time and fare both go against the passengers flavour.
The ideal way to run the train is simple SF train without compulsory catering with II class and CC coaches and

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
