              \u2705 Final Notes<\/h2>\n
                \n
              • The Duronto superfast special (12227\/12228)<\/strong> remains operational as of 2025, running twice weekly in both directions.<\/li>\n
              • It is the fastest option<\/strong> on the Mumbai\u2013Indore route but sees low demand and reduced priority<\/strong>, leading to delays at interchanges.<\/li>\n
              • Alternatives for daily connectivity include Avantika Express (12961\/12962)<\/strong>, which runs daily<\/strong>, albeit with longer transit time (~12h 15m) ([turn0search15]\ue202turn0search22\ue201).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
