One of the most popular SF Intercity trains to go from PUNE-SUR. The train runs absolutely jam packed 365 days a year. The train has Rake Sharing with Indrayani Express (which has a halt at Shivajainagar). There is a huge rush at Pune Station to board this train, since 22105 Indrayani changes its avatar and runs as SUR Intercity within 20 mins. Hence boarding the train with elderly people, children, ladies can be difficult due to rush, especially in 2S class.

One option is to board the train at Shivajinagar, which...
more... has relatively lesser rush as compared to Pune. 2S is crowded, AC Chair Car is acceptable.
