Over the years the best way of connectivity between Nashik has been the train connectivity. Though there are number of trains which connect Nashik to Bombay, there is one train which is considered the best for business and daily travelers from Nashik to Bombay. The timing is just correct to enable you reach Mumbai just in the business hours and get back home just in time for dinner. This has been my first post while I have been travelling as well as the first post itself from the train.

Thanks to the connected world, I have been able to do this. Train starts from Manmad but most of the passenger’s board from nashik. Train starts from Manmad because Nashik is not a junction. There are in total 3 AC chair cars within the train and Balance is reserved and unreserved bogies as well as a special bogie for ladies. There was a pantry car which used to service excellent breakfast and snacks to commuters. The pantry has now been discontinued and now gives way to an addition chair car for pass holders. The journey being very short between Nashik and Mumbai , probably made the decision to discontinue the pantry.

Recently the AC chair car has been refurbished with new seats as well cleanliness is very well maintained in the train by good Samaritans who ensure regular announcements in the train to ask people clean the vehicle. I think that is a very good initiative by these people who are self driven and ensure that the surroundings in this train are clean as well as the travel experience is good.

The train leaves at around 7.05 from Nashik station and reaches dadar around at 10.20 and Mumbai CST at around. You would normally get a seat easily even the prior day if you are booking and it is not a vacation season. The same train leaves from Mumbai CST at around 6.00 PM and reaches Nashik at around 9.45 PM.

Cheers to Panchavti for servicing travelers for so many years.
