Service

It is a daily train and covers the distance of 1617 kilometres in 32 hours 15 mins as 19019 Dehradun Express (40.53 km/hr) and 32 hours 45 mins as 19020 Dehradun Express (40.29 km/hr).

Traction

Before the Mumbai region changed traction to an AC system, a 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 Ghaziabad-based WAP-7 / WAP-5 until Haridwar and vice versa.
