i think central railway have decided to construct Railway track between Osmanabad and Tuljapur but it did not have got sanction yet by railway ministry
but i am sure it will get sanctioned soon
and Osmanabad will become Junction i.e. ' Osmanabad Junction '
just wait and watch

@first blogger:
it seems difficult in near future. Solapur-Jalgaon survey has been done (via Tuljarpur-UMD) and it is shelved by railway board.
You know how much time it takes to complete ongoing project for ex. Latur-Miraj was approved in 1992-93 and in 2010 it will be completed..!!!

@anon: Mar 09 (08:09PM)
i also agree with you
but i think Osmanabad - Tuljapur track will be completed coming few years as per opinions of railway officials
i think Tuljapur to Solapur track is not possible even in future
so ultimately Tuljapur will be Terminus and Osmanabad will be junction in future

@first blogger:
it appears that you are interested more in making Usmanabad a railway junction then Tuljapur connectivity!

@first blogger:
As per railway budget this will be new train..only possible after commissioning of Miraj-Pandharpur GC.

go to the indian railway website and look under the "vox populii" tab. also talk to the station master at latur / umd. he also might be able to help

@first blogger:
we will come to know only after such extension takes place..!!!!

@first blogger:
Latur-Delhi?

@first blogger:
i suugest some coorections Solapur-Delhi via KWV-UMD-LUR which already demanded by Solapur peoples
and Osmanabad-Tirupati so as to cover both district places we should demand for this

@anon: Mar 01 (09:14PM)
forgive me for my ignorance, but is there any religious significance between conecting osmanabad and tirupati? i know that hari-priya express was started between tpty and kop, on account of some religious connection between the deities. So worshippers go to balaji and also have to visit ambabai at kolhapur. wondering if theres somethin like that bet UMD and tpty

@anon: Mar 01 (09:31PM)
many of the peoples from Osmanabad they are going to Tirupati
and they are getting train from solapur
more over Tuljapur is only 22 km away from Osmanabad so many peoples from Tuljapur can also get this train so if we demand for train that can cover Osmanabad and Latur that will be convinient for everyone

@anon: Mar 01 (09:14PM)
vow, so solpaur to delhi via UMD. Lets see how many times the train has to change directions. Kurduwadi, Latur road, Purna/parbhani (not sure) , Manmad. Instead you coud have the two sets slip coaches (one set from latur and other for solapur, merge at kurduwadi and route the train via daund. In due course of time another set of slip coaches from miraj via pandharpur, could also be added at kurduwadi. So Kurduwadi could be a point for trifircation of the train from delhi to three points in MH. I think this train could be maharashtra sampark kranti express

@anon: Mar 01 (10:30PM)
ok this is also convinient but three sets of slip coaches should arriv at KWV within given time so as to make complete train
do you think it is possible ?

@anon: Mar 02 (02:03PM)
sure why not? all these places are less than 300 Km away from kurduwadi. Kurduwadi latur, and kurduwadi miraj lines are brand new and hardly any traffic as yet. so finding a common ground should not be a problem i guess

@first blogger:
Good for your mi-nute observation. Note that kms are no where stated in fractions and it is rounded off. The two trains referred to in your post, both are originating from a different stations and hence decimal rounding difference occuring at some such distances. Some such instances you will find on other sections of the rail network also. However difference is only one way that is no difference when travelling from Pune to Osmanabad (both trains same distance kms 259) and this is bcoz of rounding off.
Do not be surprised and be prepared for a situation where you find difference of kms (even 1 kms) between the same two stations egs. from Bandra to Surat and Surat to Bandra in some trains.

@first blogger:
no, not necessary

@first blogger:
what is your point?

@anon: Mar 01 (03:03PM)
i want to clear why this train runs only up to Osmanabad and not why not up to Latur
one blog was posted regarding this by one blogger

@first blogger:
This point has been brought up before. Apologies for the delay in taking action. These trains are not currently mentioned in any of the official timetables. There is no source at all on the basis of which we can update the timetable.
Please provide details of the stoppages - just the changes/additions, and we shall promptly update the respective schedules. Thanks.

@moderator: Mar 01 (03:09PM)
ok i will post the time table details this train as early as possible

@first blogger:
hey nice suggestion
i agree with your opinion i appriciate your suggestion
CR should think about this if they do so then peoples of Latur- Osmanabad will have better connectivity to Pune

@first blogger:
Travel time does not depend on halts alone. It also depends on various other factors like single/double line, type of engine, speed of coaches, number of coaches, gardiant, speed restrictions, crossings, track availability, platform availability, buffer time embedded, duration of halts, direction reversals needed, coaches attachment/detachment enroute, technical halts etc. Now for 1005, no one will be able to explain you with complete details.

@first blogger:
i know one Parali- Osmanabad then which is second ?

@anon: Feb 26 (06:48PM)
second is Kurudwadi-Osmanabad Passenger running daily

@anon: Feb 26 (06:50PM)
is it have proper connection ?

@anon: Feb 26 (06:51PM)
near about KWV-UMD pass. leaves kurduwadi at 1.45 pm after Indrayani and pune - solapur pass, come to K.wadi
and reaches to O.bad at 3.40 pm and then return towards Pandharpur at
4.00 pm and coonects to Mumbai fast passenger at 6.30 pm in kurduwadi
really O.bad peoples are luvky but they do not using this train so much even latur peoples using it from Osmanabad

@anon: Feb 26 (06:58PM)
where does mumbai - pune indrayani express come into picture? you must be talking about pune - solapur- pune intercity express.

@first blogger:
why should be it a matter of pride as to how many trains depart from a city? you sound like you have a problem with more trains originating from UMD than latur.

@first blogger:
how does that matter? connectivity is more important

@anon: Feb 26 (07:45PM)
ya you are right and as we can use that train from Osmanabad so we should not make this as pride matter . i undestand that this passenger train is ruuning only up t0 Osmanabad so that blooger posted such blog but we can demand it to be extended but stop making it pride matter

@first blogger:
says who?

@anon: Feb 24 (12:14AM)
it is not a hard and fast rule but according to strategy of railways all new trains expected to be started for LUR , UMD peoples may they will originate at Osmanabad or Latur depending on direction of destination
for to cover both district places

@first blogger:
tough luck.. read the budget to get a grip over yourself!

@anon: Feb 24 (10:51PM)
i have good grip over myself i know there is no new train originating at LUR or UMD in budget but the blog i have posted in order to inform peoples regarding future trains and there expected origins
the motive behind posting blog is to we should have to demand for to cover both district places in single train and according to strategies of railways there is no difficulty in this but local peoples of both of districts should be ready for this
so next time demand for train that can cover both district places do not become selfish

@anon: Feb 25 (11:21PM)
well your original blog was poorly worded... which might have created confusion for the other bloggers. Please blog coherently.

@anon: Feb 25 (11:21PM)
hahah are u a railway minister to inform people about future trains? ... wake up from dreamland my friend

@anon: Feb 25 (11:21PM)
hey i think your intentions are good but you kind of did not put it in words appropriately. So may be thats why you are getting some wierd responses..

@anon: Feb 26 (01:09AM)
no my friend i am not railway minister जर मी railway minister असतो तर उस्मानाबाद लातूर साठी खुप काही केले असते मला फ़क्त एवढे सांगायचे आहे की आता आपल्याला एकत्रित येउन संघर्ष करायला हवा
instead of posting blog against my opinions think over abouve mentioned lines
that will be better

@anon: Feb 26 (05:57PM)
sangharsh? kasla? hello....! i dont necessarily post against your blogs. they are just not well written so i get confused....Dont take offense. I am with you when you are demanding new trains. But there has to be good logic and supporting facts when u demand new trains. When i see that the facts are fudged or logi is poor then i make it a point to reply. lets take a few examples:
There were so many tall claims about how diverting trains between pune and hyb via latur will save time .... if you check for trains between pune and hyb the slowest train is via latur.
today some one bloggged, that the newly announced kop - hyb train is going to be routed via latur... thats false. there is no announcement to that effect. Nobody knows what route it will take.
Or that speed on the latur track will increase with time.... the logic behind that suggestion was very weak...
Then there is a guy/gal who keeps refering to pune solapur pune intercity as extenstion of indrayani express to solapur... which again is inaccurate.
So if you are the same person doing all this then i guess i am replying to all your blogs. If you present genuine facts, logical stuff, i probably wont have to oppose you. I understand that ur intentions are good and u are all excited about getting good connectivity for that region, but that does not mean, its ok to pass on fictional information on the blog. this forum is to help travellers and not set the rumor mill rolling!

@first blogger:
indrayani does not start from solapur. Termini for Indrayani express are Pune and MUMbai CST

mumbai-hyderabad distance via solapur is less than via latur..

then suggest me how to catch train by Latur people to Tirupati.
As now they are prefering PRIVATE vehicles to go to Tirupati.
Which cost 12,000/- per trip for 10 people.

I understand that newly converted Latur-Kurduvadi is not fully utilised but that doesnt mean that every train should be diverted by this route.instead proper connection at Kurduvadi can be given for HYD/Tirupati trains

@anon: Sep 12 2009 (10:23AM)
Let Private BUS OPERATORS from LATUR_MUMBAI
to earn some amount.
Because they also giving some to railway officials for not increasing bogies.
You see HYDERABAD PUNE having 05 Sleeper but Latur EXP only 03.
Why you r speaking same thing again and again to increase bogies.
This train is not for us.

Really Its bad experience yesterday to me.
Many peoples WL [almost 100] entered in S1 Bogie from LATUR USMANABAD BARSHI upto 0030am and started quarreling for accomodation with TC.
After Kurduwadi a Tough TC made these people quiet and FINED many who were on General Ticket but entered into SL Bogie S1.
Really worst experience I was boarded upto Pune which was expected at 0340 am, but till 0100am there was a chaos in Bogie.
LATER TC Started his disscussion with some passengers.
1. How Bihari and Karnataka(Bagalkot) people fought for trains.
2. Why all Stations are far away from CITY on this route(i.e. LATUR, USmanabad, Barshi) due to politicians .
3. Why KONARK HUSSAIN SAGAR not diverted via LATUR due to PLATFORM LENGTH.
4. How a huge corruption took place during laying down this line.
5. Why not few more trains not started yet since its inception from OCT-2008.
And lot more.....................
At the end NO SLEEP in SLEEPER CLASS and it look like GENERAL CLASS.

@anon: Oct 21 02:44PM
This line could/should carry more traffic. Thanks to chaos on NH9 (Tembhurni-Pune) more trains on this section would be helpful. Pretty much all the stations along old Kurduwadi-Latur section are rebuilt but there is not a single passenger train to cater to these small stations.
All new stations outside the city
Latur - there is no way to extend the line towards Latur Road from old station.
Osmanabad - It was added last minute. But this is best possible location without expensive grade work.
Barshi - The station had to move because the old line along the barshi-kurduwadi road could not be converted to carry broad gauge line. (Though what a unique feature it was)
If the line had enough traffic I am sure vendors will start catering to passenger's needs. With one daily night train and one tri weekly there is just not enough traffic for vendors.

@first blogger:
Latur is station for Latur city.
Latur Road is another station 30kms away from Latur. This used to be nearest station for Latur on Hyderabad-Vikarabad-Parli BG line. When the Latur Kurduwadi line was converted to BG it was extended beyond Latur to connect to the Hyderabad-Vikarabad-Parli line.

according to a blog at 0412pm, so many tickets are available (which has been provided by somebody) and sstill you want an additional sleeper. what for, when so many accom. are vacant.

How many Birth's u want man.
R U Interested in entire boggie, then we need to attach one more.

existing pune nanded train doesnt seem to attract a lot of passengers in any case, so how is one more addition justified?

Existing train runs via Manmad-Aurangabad
I would like to say via LATUR-PARLI

Why Daund? Why not Pune.

Osmanabad se ajmer ya jodhpur rail kab shru hogi
laluji marathwada pe dhayn dae
raj solanki barshi

go to computerized reservation counter/railway station and book the ticket.

approx 50 Kms

pune to latur

manmad to kachiguda
