The sources in the Railway have confirmed that as per the request made by the MoSR Suresh Angadi a new Janshatabdi train would be started from February 9, 2020 between Pune and Belagavi.
The Pudahri reports that sources have confirmed the train would commence from Feb 9 and approximately the timing would be Pune Departure 6 AM and Belagavi departure 2 PM.
The distance between Pune to Belagavi is 416 km and the train will move at a speed of 70 KMPH.
LHB coaches will be used and will have 20 coaches in total with AC Chair Car (CC), Executive Chair Car (EC), and Second Seating (2S).
The Jan Shatabdi Express is a more affordable and economical version of the Shatabdi Express. It is similar to Shatabdi Express in terms of fare and precedence but Jan Shatabdi Express has all the classes such as Executive Class, AC Chair Car, Indian Railways coaching stock while Shatabdi Express does not have the 2nd Class seating coaches. The fare does not include food charges, but it has the onboard catering service on some routes from where food can be bought. The top speed of Jan Shatabdi trains is 140 km/hr with an average of 70 km/hr.
Pune to Belgaum 5 hrs well and good. By Bus and car we reach 6 hrs. So think for it…..
its very nice timimg, who goes in sangli,miraj now no boday any train for morning timing-jodhpur-bangalore and maharashtra exp is too early leaving from pune , so 6.00 am timiing is very good, i am waiting this train
Is train starts its journey?
Pune departure should be at 2pm rather than 6am in the morning….. People can finish of work and board a train in pune at 2pm ….. 6am from pune departure its totally waste
It must depart Panvel @6am n arrive Belgaum @1pm . Depart [email protected]:30pm n arrive [email protected] 7:30pm as it’s sitting journey hours must be reduced must not extend more then 7 hour @ max 7hiurs not more
The train departure from pune should be after 7am when 1st local from lonvala comes to pune taking pimpri chinchwad passengers ,or starting point should be chinchwad stn
It should have been a night travel so that we can come back in a day.
Dont understand why many people asking here extend upto Hubli ? As technical reason how Hubli Bengaluru JS express cannot be extended till Belagavi, same reason applicable to Pune Bgm JS exp also. For kind info. A single rake should complete up & down journey. Now think how it’s possible of extension. Instead of travel on train bet . Bgm to Hubli, bus travel is conviniant for Hubli people so can save time .
Its should start from Mumbai.Suitable for single ladies travellers and children
This is very helpful for the passenger but it has to be extend up to hubballi thankful to MOSR implement of shatabadi exp.
It won’t happen. Then extend bangalore Hubli is till belgaum
Too good initiative taken but need to extend upto Mumbai.
Better extends upto hubballi
It will be helpful for hubballi people’s also
Yse it’s helpful relwy also start from hubli jn
Departure time from Pune is not convenient as it is too early.if it is shifted to 8a.m.it will be suitable for people staying in Pimpari/Chinchawad /Nigadi. etc.
It’s real good initiative. Thanks to Mr Angadi. From revenue point its better to extend up to Hubballi…We are now seeing Belgavi smarcity happening. Happy new Year Twenty20….
I think It’s much better srart from hubli
Jaffarsmulla then extend dwd intercity, Hubli SBC janshatabdi and dwd mysore till BGM, then will extend this to Hubli
Evening Departure from Pune & Morning Departure from Bgm will be better Idea.
Very good initiative from MoS Railways. This would help IT employees, elders who need not take out their car and further congest the already overcrowded lanes. This may also save Forex in buying Petroleum products for these private vehilcles and may potentially reduce pollution.
Further work may be required to shorten the distance from 416 to 330 kms.
Congratulations to every Belgaumite
Pls extended to Mumbai (dadar or csmt)
If train is extended upto HUBLI it will be helpful
to most of Karnataka people
awesome but then timing and journey hours odd
Why not this be extended to Hubli
Bcoz d minister is from Belgaum wants to improve its economy
Timingwise, it is not feasible. It is 8 hours trip, same like intercity train between Hubballi-Bengalooru. And, the distance between Belagavi & Hubballi is around 135Km with min. 3 hours journey.
This will get extend after Belagavi-Kittur-Dharwad new line completion, not via Londa jn

Super News… Welcoming this initiative 🙂 🙂
