Runs with decent occupancy till Rajkot. It was almost an empty run between Rajkot and Hapa in both directions. Both Rajkot and Ahmedabad give excellent occupancy. Surendranagar has the least boardings and deboardings. Excellent maintenance by MMCT CDO. 12267 was looped at Jaliyadevani because of the late running 12477. Reaches before time at MMCT. A scope for speedup of 10 - 15 minutes in both directions is possible. The doubling of RJT KNLS OKHA and the 5th and 6th line between Virar - Borivali must be done on a priority basis. Runs right behind 12215 between ADI and BVI. Skips all major stations of MMCT ADI section at the red signal.
It reminds me of the old 19217/ 19218 Saurashtra...
more... Janta which also used to run almost vacant between Rajkot and Jamnagar and was diverted to Veraval in 2020.
