Overview
- Train Nos. 22961/22962 are operating with a 20-coach rake from January 26 to March 7, 2026, on the Ahmedabad–Mumbai Central route.
- Four AC chair car coaches have been added, creating 278 additional seats for passengers.
- Western Railway says the measure is intended to ease overcrowding, long waiting lists and last‑minute booking pressure.
- The service covers roughly 491 km in about 5 hours 40 minutes with halts at Vadodara, Surat, Vapi and Borivali, running six days a week except Sunday.
- Officials describe the change as time-bound, with a return to the original 16-coach configuration expected after March 7 unless demand persists.
