My friend,
What is mean to say is that the intercity express must adopt a route after Monkey hill to KARJAT (not khopoli-wrongly typed) along the old route of Lonavala-Monkey Hill-Thakurwadi-Jambrug-KARJAT-kalyan-Thane-Dadad-CST. The WAP 7 or WAP 4 engine can easily travel the distance of 192 kms between Pune and CSTM and reach destination in time.


Moreover...
more...

to reduce further time in reaching destination, the train rout eof Intercity express need to be changed as follows;

Pune-Lonavla-Monkey Hill_Thakurwadi-Karjat- PANVEL-Thane-Dadar CST.

(ie the intercity Express after reaching Karjat- mus be DIVERTED via Panvel to Thane-Dadar-CST) Karjat-to Panvel is just 26 kms and this distance can be covered in 25 minutes. A stop at PANVEL for JUST TWO (2) MINUTES can be given for alighting purposes for residents of NAVI Mumbai.
Thereafter Panvel-to Thane in another 30 minutes an d from THANE to CST in 40 minutes.

Railways must consider changing the route of Intercity express via PANVEL.
