It is a daily train and covers the distance of 1617 kilometres in 32 hours 15 mins as 19019 Dehradun Express (40.53 km/h) and 32 hours 45 mins as 19020 Dehradun Express (40.29 km/h).
Traction
Before the Mumbai region changed traction to an AC system, Valsad based WCAM-1 engine would haul the train until Vadodara from where a Vadodara-based WAP-4 or WAP-5 would take over until Hazrat Nizamuddin after which a WDM-3A engine from the Tuglakabad shed would take over until Haridwar.
Since Western Railways switched over to AC traction, a Ghaziabad-based WAP-7 hauls the train until Hazrat Nizamuddin after which a WDM-3A engine from the Tuglakabad shed takes over until Haridwar.
Now, both trains are hauled by a Vadodara/Valsad-based WAP-7 until Haridwar and vice versa.
