The 12907 / 12908 Maharashtra Sampark Kranti Express is a bi-weekly Sampark Kranti Express train which runs between Bandra Terminus in Mumbai and Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi, India.
Background
This train was introduced as one of the Sampark Kranti trains which were announced by the then railways minister Nitish Kumar in 2004/2005 rail budget. It is a bi-weekly train. Earlier on it would leave Bandra Terminus and after a halt at Borivali would go non stop until Hazrat Nizamuddin except for operational halts. Given the poor patronage to this train, the operational stops were changed to commercial stops. Thus, it now also halts at Vadodara Junction and Kota Junction (for crew change). It used to run with ICF coach, but now runs with LHB coach since 15 January 2017.
Coach composition
The train has standard LHB rakes with max speed of 130 kmph. The train consists of 22 coaches:
- 1 AC I Tier
- 2 AC II Tier
- 6 AC III Tier
- 8 Sleeper coaches + SLR
- 1 Pantry car
- 3 General
- 1 End-on Generator
Stoppage
Traction
As Western Railway has changed over to AC traction, Vadodara Junction is now an operational halt. It is now hauls by a Vadodara-based WAP-7 (HOG) equipped locomotive from end to end.
