Yo, bro! Listen up, at Akola, it's gonna be tight with the platform situation when your train rolls in. Only one platform can handle trains from Badnera/Bhusaval on the Purna side. When your train arrives, train 17641/42 at Akola will be backing up on the same platform, leaving no space for your train to chill. Also, you can push back the Katra departure by about 30 minutes. It's best to avoid the flip-flop at Akola and take the Bhusawal bypass instead. Maybe think about stopping at Sangola and Barshi too. The idea is dope, linking up pilgrimages and hooking up with NCR for spots like Pandharpur.
