The 12933 / 12934 Karnavati Superfast Express is one of four express trains belonging to Indian Railways that offer Chair Car services between (ADI) and (BDTS) in India. It operates as train number 12934 from Ahmedabad Junction to Bandra Terminus and as train number 12933 in the reverse direction, serving the states of Maharashtra & Gujarat.
The other Chair Car trains which run between the two cities are 12931/32 Mumbai CentralâÂÂAhmedabad Double Decker Express, 22953/54 Gujarat Superfast Express and the 12009/10 Mumbai CentralâÂÂAhmedabad Shatabdi Express.
Karnavati was the name of a city that existed where Ahmedabad stands today. That was before the Mughal period.
Karnavati Superfast Express is composed of four AC Chair Cars, 14 2nd Class seating cars, 2 General Unreserved coaches, 1 Pantry car and two 2 Luggage Cum Generator coaches. The conventional rakes were replaced by Linke-Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches for this train in 2014.
As with most train services in India, coach composition may be amended at the discretion of Indian Railways depending on demand.
As the average speed of the train is more than 55 km/h, its fare includes a Superfast surcharge.
Prior to Western Railways switching over to the AC system in February 2012, dual-traction WCAM-1 or WCAM-2/2P locos would haul the train.
Since Western Railway has switched over to the AC system it is hauled from end to end by a Vadodara Loco Shed-based WAP-7 and WAP-5 electric locomotive.
