The 12917 / 12918 '''Gujarat Sampark Kranti Express''' is one of the [[Sampark Kranti Expresses]], a [[train]] on India's [[broad gauge]] network, connecting [[Ahmedabad]] (code: ADI) and Delhi [[Nizamuddin Railway Station|Hazrat Nizamuddin]] (code: NZM), a distance of approximately 1085&nbsp;km. The train runs on [[Indian Railways]] [[broad gauge]] track network and was introduced in 2008 to provide quicker connectivity from [[India]]'s capital [[New Delhi]] to locations in [[Gujarat]].<br />
<br />
==Schedule==<br />
<br />
The Gujarat Sampark Kranti Express runs three days a week. As of 1 November 2009, 2917 departs ADI every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1720 and arrives at NZM at 1040 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, averaging 65&nbsp;km/h speed during its run. 2918 departs NZM every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 1355 and arrives at ADI at 610 on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, averaging 69&nbsp;km/h speed.<ref>[http://indiarailinfo.com/train/566/60/748/1] India Rail Info</ref> In its journey, the train passes through the Indian states of Gujarat, [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[Rajasthan]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Haryana]] and [[Delhi]]. Some cities where the Gujarat Sampark Kranti Express halts en route are [[Nadiad]], [[Vadodara|Chhayapuri (Vadodara)]], [[Godhra]], [[Dahod]], [[Ratlam]], [[Kota, Rajasthan|Kota]] and [[Mathura]]. The entire route of the train is on double-line electrified track section of Indian Railways.<br />

==Coaches & Rake==<br />
The train's rake is split into at least three classes of reserved travel: AC 2 Tier (code: A/2A), AC 3 Tier (code:B/3A) and non air-conditioned reserved sleeper (SL). As it is a Sampark Kranti train, between 2 and 6 carriages requiring no previous travel reservation (code: General) are included. Along with Maharashtra Sampark Kranti and West Bengal Sampark Kranti, this train now runs LHB coaches. These three trains are the only Sampark Kranti Expresses to have LHB coaches.<br />
<br />
==Rake sharing==<br />
The train shares its rake with 20945/20946 '''Kevadia - Hazrat Nizamuddin Gujarat Sampark Kranti Express'''.<br />
<br />
==Locomotive==<br />
Both trains are hauled by a [[Electric Loco Shed, Vadodara|Vadodara]] based [[WAP 7]] ('''HOG''') equipped locomotive on its entire journey.<br />
<br />
== Other details ==<br />
The passenger fare between ADI and NZM varies from INR ([[Indian rupee]]) 1400 (A/2A) to INR 190 (General). Though its route is 150&nbsp;km longer than the [[Ashram Express]], the Gujarat Sampark Kranti averages a higher speed and takes 15 minutes less than the Ashram Express to travel from Delhi to Ahmedabad. This is attributable to the fact that the Samprak Kranti Express gets the benefit of electric traction, double line track and almost no stops outside Gujarat on its entire route. Gujarat Sampark Kranti Express is designated as a superfast train, which denotes that it gets priority over local (commuter) trains, standard express and passenger trains and most freight trains.<br />
