Heard something interesting about this train about from some friends of mine and dad at Vasco Da Gama, that prior to the night before its departure in the morning passengers mostly unreserved ones from the entire state gather outside the premises of VSG Railway station and spend the entire night outside the station because of following two reasons:
1. The officials of VSG railway station don't allow the unreserved passengers in until morning and even maybe some people feel it convenient outside as the place is much less smelly than the tracks. Lol.
2....

Train departs Vasco early in the morning at 7.10 am and unlike other states local buses don't start here early at 5.00 am or so. Some people may say that they can board it at Madgaon or Sanvordem since Madgaon is having some KR trains coming from Pernem or Canacona ends and it reaches Sanvordem at a good time but its UR coaches get full at Vasco itself.
So the entire point of the above discussion is that the this action must be frequently witnessed by the Railways, why don't they realize that this is one of the most important trains running in IR and the only one connecting Goa to AP, Orissa, West Bengal and places in Karnataka like Hospet, Gadag, Bellary and finally free it of its burden of slip coaches so S.E.R. who very well Know its demand can augment it with more coaches and also increase its frequency to daily.
Also we very well know how much great the current slip is but that greatness is far beyond our imagination so we want something great which we can actually imagine and that is by having a simple full length train from Vasco to Hyderabad which is not as great as this slip train.
Once the train is made daily and more UR coaches are added it would become less crowded at Vasco and it people would be able to board it at Madgaon or Sanvordem hassle free.
Now I know such things are common at other places but here in Goa its rare and only happening with this train I think which implies the significance of this train for Goa as a whole but still neglected by IR.
