The Navjivan Express

started running in the late 1970s.

It was the first train from South India to Gujarat.

Until then the usual practice was to change at Bombay,

and the interchange between CR and WR

was puzzling to those travelling for the first time.

However, it was theoretically possible

to travel entirely by metre gauge

between Madras and Ahmedabad.

This became a little simpler with the opening

of the Udaipur-Himatnagar line in the mid-1960s.
