Cr intend to start Rajdhani from CST

Currently, two Rajdhani trains originate in Mumbai Central. "If the proposal is approved, then an announcement is likely to be made in forthcoming railway budget

Punjab Mail travels to New Delhi from CST. The train traverses a distance of 1,544 km and halts at 56 stations during its 26-hour journey. 

"The distance between Mumbai and New Delhi (by CR network) is only 1,535 km and can be covered within 20 hours. The Rajdhani will halt only at prominent stations this will help cut down the travel time," a senior CR official said. 

The distance between Mumbai Central and New Delhi (through Surat and Vadodara) is 1384 km. 

"There are doubts if a Rajdhani-class train on CR (through Bhopal) will enjoy the same patronage."
