Usually, Mysore/Bangalore-Ajmer/Jodhpur SWR Group of Trains always arrive 30 to 45 min before time at Pune. First, they are held up at GPR (Ghorpuri) Station, especially if NZM-Vasco Goa Exp is running late by 1 hr or so. Later, these trains are again held up at outer yard and finally admitted to PF3 of Pune Station. Once they are at station, daily, Indrayani Exp goes towards Kalyan / Mumbai ahead of these trains. On Sunday, even Pune-ERS SF Exp (via Panvel) goes ahead of these trains and then these SWR Trains proceed towards Lonavala at 18:50 hrs (late by 5 to 10 min) and 19:05 hrs departing Pune-Lonavala EMU starts running behind these SWR Trains!

These trains keep trailing Rani Chennamma also right from SBC even though they have less halts, hence it would be good if IR can speed up these trains by 30mins between SBC and Pune.

---

In the evening, at Pune, typically from 16:00 to 19:00 hrs, there are many trains arriving / departing and the schedule is extremely busy / tight. With only 6 platforms available (and some trains like NCJ-CSTM Exp or Goa Exp coming from long distance may be running late by few minutes), any train schedule can not be changed. CR Pune Operations will NOT allow speeding of these SWR Trains because they will reach Pune say by 17:45 hrs or so. At that time, PF availability is a major issue. Also, Pune-Mumbai ICE, Pune-LNL EMU, Indrayani Exp and Pune-ERS SF Exp are UP Trains in that slot. DOWN Slot is also busy with departures of Jhelum Exp, NGP Group of Trains, MAS Exp, KJT-Pune-BRMT Shuttle, EMU Trains, etc!
