A CR Joke.
"PUNE division RUINED its OWN Train for giving way to Mumbai division train in its OWN Area."
Earlier it was still bearable to travel in this train. But now its just a joke.
11097 Poorna Express
Pune-Madgaon...
more... : 17.20 hrs for 552 km at avg speed of 31 kmph.
Pune-Ernakulam : 32.40 hrs for 1281 km at avg speed of 39 kmph.
Madgaon-Ernakulam : 14.50 hrs for 729 km at avg speed of 49 kmph.
Thanks KR and SR gave some speed to this train or else if They would have also treated same as of HOME zone CR , then surely the TT would have been pitiful than MG track trains also.
Now you tell me , what option is left for Pune people (PUNE is the DIVISIONAL HQ) to go to Goa ? Unwillingly Bus has to be taken or have to go Mumbai and then connecting train. Directly or indirectly PUNE-MUMBAI sector gets a huge revenue earning due to this Pune-Mumbai up-down.
Don't know when CR will give some respect to this Pune Divsion and the PUNE-MRJ-(KOP) stretch of it.
