Fulfills a long-standing demand for a superfast train between Mumbai and Rajkot/Jamnagar/Porbandar. It's truly a shame that Porbander has fast trains to places such as Kolkata, Muzaffarpur, Kochuveli but only a crawler (Saurashtra Exp.) to Mumbai. This train will fix that anomaly once and for all.
A whopping 4 to 4.5 hours faster than Saurashtra Exp. between Mumbai and Porbandar, so massive savings in time.
Provides a convenient overnight connection from Mumbai to Rajkot/Jamnagar/Porbandar.

more... the slot of the Madgaon-Hapa SF from BSR to RJT and the slot of the JBP-BDTS SF Special from BRC to BDTS, so minimal disruption to existing services.
