It will confirm easily.. Its off-season then in June

It has a very good chances to confirm because Goa Express running with Two 2AC Coches

Will confirm easily, still a lot of time is there

are u sure, goa express is running with two ac2 coches.
because i am told that it has only one ac2 tier!!!!!!!!

Sir Goa exp has one 2ac and hubli nzm slip which runs combined with goa exp btw londa and delhi has the second 2ac so total two 2ac coaches but you are right Goa exp only one 2ac frm VSG.

so what are the chances for my tickets please.

Now whats the status ? Still more than a month left you have good chances of confirmation.

Dirty Loco
isko to tide se dhona padega :D

Aur thode whitewashing ki bhi jarurat hai bhai.

Engine ko daldal se nahaya gaya hai....koi to isko saaf karo...

Good one RK...Sorry for my ignorance
Anyone could please explain me what's properly mu'ed?

Lead Loco in SHF Mode and Assisting Loco in LHF Mode.

Ok thanks..Whats full form of mu'ed?

Multiple Unit

MU is Multiple Unit

Ok thank you sir..PUNE sometimes couple locos wrongly.. LHF+SHF

is it a normal coupling between 2 locos or something more than that?

Multiple unit is just a regular coupling for greater hauling capacity, so that both the units operate as one only.

CBC coupling btw 2 locos.. I observed in P4 last week..

o.O
One prominent railfan said WAP-4 cannot be MU'ed...

Dude Last week I travelled in SBC tri weekly./ train loco got retired hurt and P4 of Dhanbad was attached to our loco... Will sent u the pic

Also while all this were happening, I was passing the info to Pramodh bhayi and he was updating here live..

also last week dhanbad allappeys engine hit a cow and was damaged and another wap 4 came to the rescue..so wap4 MU'ing possible i guess

from where it hit da?

near cherthala

Sorry sir but that is not true.
Mu'ed locos are those which are alive and have live connection.
.
In the above case (as you mentioned), it was simply coupled together as we see numerous times across IR (many engines are attached as relief for a failed loco).

AFAIK Wap4s cannot be Mued.

So its like this in above pic locos are coupled to and used as MU but WAP4s can only be coupled but not used as MU.

Bingo! :)

both locos were attached to a rake,, if they dont have live connection ..hw will it function..for eg braking..

Are but there are Mueing cables (as seen on WAG5s and 7s ) which are used for MUing.......
Hydraulic brakes are different. Infact, MUing and simply coupling (as in loco + coaches) is completely different.

ok sir.. got it now .thanks :)

Pune to Vasco comes in RL quota where as Vasco to Pune comes in PQ quota...hence the difference is seen...

What is RL & PQ ??

Please refer FAQ section for that...

By the time Bus moves from AGC, Goa would be nearing Palwal!!
Its better to alight & delight by boarding the train @ AGC, which probably would overtake Goa Exp on-the-way, probably late running UP SK or close countering Tamilnadu Exp!!
But better to chill & sleep in Goa, by any odds!!

So even late running UP SK allowed to overtake on time Goa really NCR should be ashamed for it.

Its not late running but arrival of SK is earlier than Goa & most train cover up on the way, this way & its not only in NCR but across India, IR mechanize same way!!

But as per the scheduled TT UP SK departs JHS first and then Goa also the SK arrives NZM at 5.30am and Goa at 6.15 am so not possible for UP SK to overtake Goa.

Thats y i remarked: Late running UP SK!!

But i dont think that UP SK ever overtook Goa as it is a highly punctual train.

/train/arrdephistory/1961/484/748
not every time!!!

But its more punctual then South bound trains like Goa, GT.... anyways i think Goa and SK have common route only btw JHS to NZM and as per the recent arr/dep history at JHS the SK always departed JHS before Goa. So i think there are hardly any overtakes btw the two but can't say anything about future coz its IR very well known for some strange overtakes and amusing delays.
