I have travelled extensively on Pune Mumbai/Mumbai Pune route and know some hacks that will help you in your travel.
- In case of any Mega block (which is every sunday in CR), these trains are the first to get cancelled.
- The pass coach become general coach on sundays and holidays, in case you are traveling un-reserved on these days you have a greater chance to get a seat in these coach (the tag outside the coach will still say its for Pass Holders only)
- You can easiely get a seat in General class if you reach at station before the train arrives (around 45min before the departure time)
- You can travel in reserve coach with your general class ticket and sit on any vacant seat. If TC ask, he will charge your Rs.15/- extra and allocate the seat to you.
- In case you do not get a seat in general class, try SLR class (this coach is next to engine). Quitely go and occupy a seat there.
- The trains after 7am and before 5pm are not croweded unless its a special occasion, you can travel in general class and save on your reservation charges!
- Use UTS app to book you un-reserved tickets
