A grievance i posted for change in terminal and some new trains for Vasco:
Sir, Vasco-Da-Gama inspite of being the largest city of Goa lacks proper rail connectivity compared to Konkan Railway stations like Madgaon, Karmali, etc. Right now inhabitants of Vasco have to spend some 600rs. for taxi to go to Madgaon while travelling to Mumbai, Gujrat, Kerala, and the like. Vasco also lacks a faster connectivity to New Delhi. Besides the demands for a new train to Hyderbad via Londa is also neglected. So i request you to look into the following matters in the upcoming final rail budget for the year 2014-15 : Change in terminal of trains from Madgaon to Vasco-Da-Gama: 1. Goa Sampark Kranti Express. 2. Madgaon
...
more...
Mangalore Express. 3. Madgaon Ernakulam Express. 4. The newly announced Karmali Mumbai AC Express. Trains on Vasco-Da-Gama to Londa route: 1. New triweekly train from Vasco-Da-Gama to Hyderabad. 2. Conversion of Howrah Vasco-Da-Gama Amaravati Express to daily. 3. Vasco-Da-Gama Mysore Express Triweekly via SBC. 4. Vasco-Da-Gama Nagpur Express weekly. Trains via Panvel: 1. Vasco-Da-Gama Ahmedabad Express weekly. 2. Vasco-Da-Gama NZM AC Express biweekly via Kalyan. Thank You.

They say Vasco lacks terminal facilities inspite of the fact that there are more pitlines at Vasco then at Madgaon, there.

I can only wonder the IQ level of IR staff from the reply that has been given :-

On one side they say due to route restrictions they cannot introduce new trains in Vasco Londa route while on the other hand they say that they have sent request to RB to increase frequency of VSG HWH express....
...
more...

Instead of increasing frequency they can very well start a new Biweekly to Hyderabad and a weekly to Visakhapatnam... sharing the same time slot...

Re# 1139126-7              
Yeah they could have but there is a heavy demand to run vsg hwh exp daily. But anyways introducing a new biweekly is no problem the constraint is just a lame excuse by the officials also i don't understand how they say Madgaon has better terminal facilities then Vasco overall the reply is just stupid and illogical.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
