Recently RB approved HYB VSG BIWEEKLY express. Seems days of getting the Slip coaches of KCG VSG of Amaravati express cancelled are closer by..,
And then can be LHBFIED….
The patronage of this train is too good that it should be made daily.,, right now it is running with 3 rakes… By having a change in TT and with one additional rake, this can be made daily !

Re# 6048669-22              
Yes this train should be made daily if SWR is not ready to provide path in Vasco it should run remaining 3 days to Belgavi as it has terminal facilities and SM can be done. The train need to be speedup by 2.5 hrs from VJA to Vasco to make journey time 38 hrs and run with 4 rakes otherwise it requires 5 rakes for daily.

I don't tag the locos intentionally because I am not going add them as loco pictures

If I tag them and leave it (without adding them as loco pictures), then somebody will update them as loco pictures without my permission. This happened in the past. So I stopped tagging locos

Condition of tap in AC coach the train. 🤦🤦

Two things he clearly mentioned
1. ICF coaches are too old and in bad condition inspite of the maintenance staff working hard to clean and maintain the train ICF coaches are starting to show their age and he clearly says LHB coaches are badly needed in...

this train.
2. No proper food served by the side pantry. He points out a train travelling 41 hours journey 4 days a week needs a pantry car it's surprising why it's not given.

He says he's lucky his journey is only upto UBL and not any further.

Also this train is the only connectivity from West Bengal to Goa. People from North East too prefer it as there's no connectivity for them to Goa. A lot of migrants from North East, West Bengal and Odisha use this train and for then it's the only rail connectivity.
