sir,the train has to stop at ratnagiri,bcoz it is a tech stop and there is LP change.CR LP's take the train till RN and after RN, KR LP's take charge.the train also stops at sawantwadi road station which is between ratnagiri and madgaon.this stop can be removed bcoz when i travelled in this train in sept 2011 i was the only one to get down at SWV.while in season time there are people who take this train due to unavailability of tickets in other trains.
