There is a need for a superfast train service - Shatabdi train service from Mumbai to Shirdi. This Shatabdi train should depart from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) at 6.30 a.m. and reach Sainagar Shirdi by 11.30 a.m. Likewise, the return journey from Sainagar Shirdi to LTT should be at 6.00 p.m. so as to reach LTT by 11.00 p.m. A Duronto train also would do but this will not be helpful for passengers of Nasik, Manmad etc.
It is an earnest and fervent appeal to the Railways to introduce this train immediately.
