This train started coz SER had to LHBfy 18047/48 this year as it was their only 2000+ kms running ICF train and those coaches are not in good condition second no politician in Goa or TN has demanded for restoration of VSG MAS express back so even SWR don't care and Secunderabad MP Shri Kishan Reddy had demanded dedicated train between Secunderabad and Goa so this had more traction going for it but sadly for Chennai Goa train inspite of there being public demand there is no political lobbying behind it so we are at the mercy of RB and SWR for its restoration.
