Train departed from Pune platform number 5 at right time. WDG 3A chugging with full speed and honking madly with awesome horn. Driver was very good, continuously running with a speed of 100Kmph. Reached Daund outer at 18:55. Don't know whats wrong till 19:15 train was stopped at outer only. Then came to Daund at 19:20 and departed at 19:25. Pune - Nagpur and Jhelum was other trains at Daund.
After Daund trains continues his rocking performance, one run till Dhavlas. At Kem, 31 down on main platform and 10 up on another and our train passed with speed through. At Dhavlas 20:40, kept on side line for Konark and Shatabdi back to back two trains. Departed at 21:05 and reached Kurduwadi at 21:15 for its scheduled hault. VSKP - LTT was on another platform. Note that all up trains running exact on time. VSKP deps at 20:10 from SUR and reached KWV sharp at 21:10. Dept from KWV and reached to Solapur at 22:30 on platform 2. Reached 30 mins late.
Forgot to mention, train was overcrowded with passengers as many of them are going home to enjoy for 3 days continues holidays. 4 hrs journey without leaving from the seat... Very very difficult...
