 The train service was disturbed between late July to early August 2005 due to heavy rainfall in Mumbai (26 July 2005).On 30 November 2006, a mob of around 6000 protestors set fire to some coaches of the train near Ulhasnagar after forcing the passengers to get down.The arsonists were protesting against the vandalism of a statue of B. R. Ambedkar in far away Kanpur though the incident had nothing to do with the "Deccan Queen".
