Mumbaikars can anticipate a significant reduction in travel time to Shirdi, with the proposed Mumbai-Nagpur bullet train set to complete the journey in just 1 hour and 10 minutes, compared to the current 6 hours and 5 minutes by super-fast train.
The DPR suggests that the slow bullet trains will stop at all stations and take approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes while the express trains will halt only at major stations, completing the Mumbai-Shirdi journey in approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes.
While the fare structure for the proposed bullet train is yet to be determined, it is anticipated to be approximately 1.5 times higher than the current first-class air-conditioned fare on regular train services.
