The 22105/22106 Indrayani Express (Marathi: इंद्रायणी एक्स्प्रेस) is a superfast express train belonging to Indian Railways that runs between Mumbai CST and Pune Junction in India.
It is a daily service & is named after the river Indrayani flowing near Pune.
The train earlier numbered as 1021 while running from Mumbai to Pune and 1022 from Pune to Mumbai, has now been upgraded to superfast & renumbered as 22105 (Mumbai CST - Pune Junction) & 22106 (Pune Junction - Mumbai CST).
The Indrayani Express presently has 2 AC Chair Car, 8 General Second Class, 2 General Second Class coaches reserved for Pass Holders, 5 General Unreserved coaches. As is customary with Indian Railways, coaches are added/removed as per the demand.
This train shares its rake with the Pune Solapur Intercity Express & operational control is with Central Railways.
The Indrayani Express was first introduced on 27 April 1988 & is one of 6 dedicated Intercity Chair Car trains between Mumbai CST & Pune Junction. The other 5 trains are 12127/28 Mumbai Pune Intercity Express, 11007/08 Deccan Express, 11009/10 Sinhagad Express, 12125/26 Pragati Express & 12123/24 Deccan Queen.
It covers the distance of 192 kilometres in 3 hours 28 mins as 22105 Indrayani Express (55.38 km/hr) & 3 hours 20 mins as 22106 Indrayani Express (57.60 km/hr).
Although the route is electrified, it is currently hauled by Kalyan or Pune based WDM 3D/WDM 3A/WDG 3A diesel locomotive and has been occasionally hauled by WDP-4 locomotive as well. This is to save time in locomotive change, due to the rake sharing with Pune Solapur Intercity Express, as the route after Daund junction is not yet electrified and is currently undergoing doubling and electrification.
