One Day Trip - Pune to Mumbai and Back

I am in Pune from 20th to 27th November.
On 25th November I am free and would like to may a day trip to Mumbai and back. I plan to take the early morning train and return the same evening.
Any suggestions?

I think these trains are heavily booked ahead (in both directions) by commuters with season tickets, but I could be wrong.

Are the busses not faster on this route with the highway and the new bridge?

The Karjat - Panvel train route opened earlier this year, I wonder if any trains are going to Mumbai via this route.

It'll be faster by road, on the expressway; if time is a factor. Otherwise the charms of the Deccan Queen remain unrivalled on the Pune-Mumbai route!

Much agreed with the above since I have done it many times.. If you talk to a porter and make arrangements they will get you one maybe. Otherwise forget it as all seats will be blocked off and sold by the ... Its a gas watching the thoroughly blasted commuters that never see their kids awake weekdays..
