The 12907 / 12908 '''Maharashtra Sampark Kranti Express''' is a bi-weekly [[Sampark Kranti Express]] train which runs between {{stnlnk|Bandra Terminus}} in [[Mumbai]] and {{stnlnk|Hazrat Nizamuddin}} in [[Delhi]], India.

==Background==
This train was introduced as one of the [[Sampark Kranti]] trains which were announced by the then railways minister [[Nitish Kumar]] in 2004/2005 rail budget. It is a bi-weekly train. Earlier on it would leave {{stnlnk|Bandra Terminus}} and after a halt at {{stnlnk|Borivali}} would go non stop until {{stnlnk|Hazrat Nizamuddin}} except for operational halts. Given the poor patronage to this train, the operational stops were changed to commercial stops. Thus, it now also halts at {{stnlnk|Vadodara Junction}} and {{stnlnk|Kota Junction}} (for crew change). It used to run with [[ICF coaches]], but now runs with [[LHB coaches]] since 15 January 2017.

==Coach composition==

The train has standard [[LHB coaches|LHB rakes]] with max speed of 110 kmph. The train consists of 22 coaches:

* 1 AC II Tier
* 5 AC III Tier
* 10 Sleeper coaches
* 1 Pantry car
* 3 General
* 2 End-on Generator

==Stoppage==

* '''{{stnlnk|Bandra Terminus}}'''
* {{stnlnk|Borivali}}
* {{stnlnk|Vadodara Junction}}
* {{stnlnk|Kota Junction}}
* '''{{stnlnk|Hazrat Nizamuddin}}'''

==Traction==

As [[Western Railway zone|Western Railway]] has changed over to AC traction, {{stnlnk|Vadodara Junction}} is now an operational halt. It is now hauls by a [[Electric Loco Shed, Vadodara|Vadodara]]-based [[WAP-7]] (HOG) equipped locomotive from end to end.
