Aug 22 (10:37)   Ceiling Collapse on Matsyagandha Express Sparks Calls for Coach Replacement

The ceiling of a 3-AC coach on the Mumbai LTT-Mangaluru Central Matsyagandha Express fell in Chiplun, Maharashtra. A passenger narrowly avoided injury. This incident has prompted the MP of Udupi-Chikkamagaluru, Kota Srinivas Poojary, to reiterate his demand for replacing the train's old ICF rake with newer LHB coaches. The MP...

has expressed concern about the train's poor maintenance and the potential dangers posed to passengers due to the age of the coaches. He has also noted the Southern Railway's delays in replacing the coaches despite repeated requests.

Mumbai LTT se Mangaluru Central jaane wali Matsyagandha Express mein, Chiplun mein, ek 3-AC coach ka ceiling gir gaya. Ek passenger barely bach gaya. Is incident ke baad, Udupi-Chikkamagaluru ke MP, Kota Srinivas Poojary ne fir se demand ki hai ki train ke purane ICF rake ko naye LHB coaches se...

replace kiya jaaye. MP ne train ki kharab maintenance aur purane coaches se passengers ke liye khatra hone ki baat bhi kahi. Unhone yeh bhi bataya ki Southern Railway ne baar baar request karne ke baad bhi coaches ko replace karne mein der ki hai.

Following the recent incident reported by rail vlogger Chinmay Kole, the demand for replacing ICF rakes with LHB rakes on the Matsyagandha Express has resurfaced. To address this, I propose three potential solutions:

1.Break the rake-sharing arrangement (RSA) between this train and Train No. 16347/48 MAQ-TVC SF Express and operate the Matsyagandha Express independently.

2.Break...
more...
the RSA with Train No. 16347/48 MAQ-TVC SF Epress and establish an RSA with Train No. 12685/86 Mangaluru Central–MGR Chennai Central SF Express. Since the Matsyagandha Express is a prestigious train on the Konkan Railway route, it should also have a First AC (Cabin) coach. Given that Train No. 12685/86 is maintained at the BBQ depot, which is better than the maintenance at the TVC depot, this change could be beneficial. The Mangaluru Central–Thiruvananthapuram SF Express could either form an RSA with the Netravati Express or operate independently, as it halts for 3-4 hours at Mangaluru Central.

3.Establish an RSA with the Netravati Express, as was proposed in the IRTTC 2022 meeting.

Aug 20 (09:00)   Passengers Demand Modern Coaches for Historic Matsyagandha Express

read full article... Rail Users Demand Replacement of Outdated Coaches on Matsyagandha Express

Passengers on the Matsyagandha Express (12619/20) are demanding the replacement of its 25-year-old ICF coaches with modern LHB coaches. A recent viral video highlighting the train's deteriorating condition has intensified the call for action. Despite repeated requests from politicians and public grievances, Southern Railway has yet to replace the coaches. The...
more...
train's historical significance, inaugurated by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on the day Konkan Railway was dedicated to the nation, adds weight to the demand for modernization. Railway officials have reportedly assured the replacement of the coaches, but the exact timeline remains unclear. The Matsyagandha Express, launched on May 1, 1998, holds a special place in railway history.

Matsyagandha Express (12619/20) pe chalne waale passengers 25 saal purane ICF coaches ko badal ke modern LHB coaches laane ki maang kar rahe hain. Train ki kharab halat dikhaane wala ek viral video aaya hai, jiske baad ye maang aur zor se uth rahi hai. MPs, MLAs aur logon ki...
more...
shikayaton ke bawjood, Southern Railway abhi tak purane coaches ko nahin badal paya. Train ka historical significance, jaise ki ye train Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji ne Konkan Railway ko dedicated kiye jaane ke din launch kiya tha, is maang ko aur bhi mazboot banata hai. Railway officials ne reportedly coaches badalne ka waada kiya hai, lekin time frame abhi tak clear nahin hai. Matsyagandha Express, jisko May 1, 1998 pe PM Vajpayee aur Railway Minister George Fernandes ne flag off kiya tha, ek khaas train hai.

I came across the video.

As per ICF site, coaches are again allocated for 22643, these coaches can be used for LHBfying this train.

Re# 6160585-5              
I think a month back there was some pic of LHB market coaches with 16347/16348 written. That probably could have been a possibility of LHB conversion of Matsyagandha express as well. Not sure what is the status on that as of now

Re# 6160585-6              
For the last couple of years, SR has been saving its LHB rakes for long-distance trains.

Now only a few remain (from what used to be a long list): Andaman, Gomtisagar, CBE-RJKT, VM-KGP, TEN-PRR, Gurudev SF, NCJ-GIMB & NCJ-KCG.

10 rakes are required for all these trains combined. It is likely that after these get done with, the daily trains would soon be converted.

Most probably distributed across the divn.I had spotted a new pair of coaches at Kollam 2 months ago.Lets see whether the new coaches alloted to 22643 will be used for this or not.
