So now after Mangala SF is getting LHB rakes this train is the only remaining ICF SF of South India connecting Delhi all thanks to the attitude of SWR towards Goa. SWR is really the new East India Company only interested in looting Goa in the form of coal rakes and providing good trains and facilities only to Karnataka.
Even less priority super crawlers of Karnataka are running with LHB rakes wheras all the important trains of VSG are ICF and that too old used coaches of trains like KSK. Just 26kms away from VSG is KR's MAO which is a ЁЯТп LHB base now.
SWR...
more... is so bad that they even rejected SERs proposal to LHBfy Amaravati express by cancellation of the stupid KCG slip. All problems would have been solved if SWR had agreed to the SC VSG biweekly train. Even if SWR has no intentions to LHBfy their own trains at VSG atleast other zones like SER and SCR could have LHBfied their trains.
When all other stations are having atleast one LHB train VSG has none all thanks to the third class zone of SWR.
And even the ICF trains of SWR from VSG have same copy paste CC except Goa express. All SWR trains from VSG apart from Goa express have only three AC coaches wheras from Karnataka they have anywhere from 6 to 9. Trains to tourist destination like Goa having only 3 AC coaches is really ridiculous.
I hope the PM of trains VSG PNBE and VSG JSME is transferred to ECR and ER respectively atleast they will run it with LHB coaches and sufficient AC coaches and a Pantry Car which is another thing missing in VSG trains apart from Goa express.
Worst zone in IR only interested in exploiting one state for the benefit of other aka SWR.
