Agree Great:Very Good Decision. Great Great:Good Descision Great:good decision finally Disagree:Good Move
As expected.

Booking has reopened for Goa Express after 15th June, 2024.

Number of Sleeper Coaches have been increased from 2 to 6 .
...
more...

3rd AC Economy Coaches have been reduced from 4 to 2.

3rd AC Coaches have been reduced from 4 to 1

2nd AC coaches have been reduced from 2 to 1

Total AC Coaches Earlier: 11

Total AC Coaches now: 5

BAD day for those who are dreaming for India as developed nation till 2047.

A person who is ready to pay 3115 and in PT, this amount reach upto even 10000 will now have to look for other options just because INDIAN RAILWAYS want a person who wants to pay just 825 can travel.

Economy works on demand price relationship but in Indian Railways they are satisfying demand of that class which is paying just 825 and not even able to support there own cost of travel.

A person who could have contributed 10000 Rupees to Government using that government can feed 10 passengers of those category who just want to pay 825, Now will pay the same or more amount to some private operator which will result more financial losses to government and more earning for businessmen.


I will say that now Third Class coaches should also be reintroduced to more poor population can travel.

They should limit HCV to 1 and GS to 3 and add 2 3AC. Could understand the obsession to attach 2HCV for a short train.

People from SVM, QLM travel to MAO by QLM - VSG Passenger to further continue their journey to NZM and if tickets are not available for MAO Rajdhani, MAO SK Express then Goa Express is booked as no other option. 2nd pit line at MAO is completely independent of SWR hence constructed otherwise it would have met the same fate as VSG.

The then 7225/26 BZA - VSG Amaravati Express was a daily train when introduced but due to less patronage its frequency was reduced to biweekly and later converted to 4 times a week.

It's not like that they first prefer Goa express. The afternoon passengers train is almost as good as cancelled. SWR cancels it every now and then.

Re# 6009357-73              
Later VSG BZA frequency got increased to tri weekly and then 4 days when it got extended to HWH.
Railways should have cancelled the KCG slip when it got extended to HWH itself. The extension was poorly planned. It was a stupid decision to carry Goa Hyderabad slip coaches in a train which was the only rail connectivity from East India to Goa considering the number of migrants and tourists travelling in it.
Second in zbtt when they were cancelling link trains they should have cancelled this slip service too.

Agree
12071/72 Hingoli Janshatbdi should be converted into normal Super Fast Express and should be named as "Sant Namdev SF Express" (संत नामदेव सु.फा. एक्सप्रेस ). This will enable IR to introduce general tickets in trains and will benefit the people. Anyways many stoppages have been introduced for this train and train no more qualifies as Janshtabdi Express.

Re# 5999106-2              
Its not good because of RSA with Panchavati Express. Incoming Panchavati from Manmad is turned around at CSMT and goes as Jan Shatabdi to Hingoli, then back from Hingoli the next day to CSMT where it is turned around again as Panchavati to Manmad.

This whole RSA was meant to clear one rake from Mazgaon pitlines, which has resulted in this condition of 12071/12072 Jan Shatabdi Express.

It's PM shifted to Manmad post rake sharing with Jan Shatabdi and hence the quality detoriated. It reachesate night at Manmad so I don't think overnight maintainence is worth there. Post Hingoli now it will be more worse.

Via BRC 4 hrs time have been saved here. Plus since train goes via Bhopal. Here the trains get packed and Pune doesnt get any chance for getting a confirm ticket. Also every cant afford to travel by Duronto and Darshan much. And in case of Jhelum it can be upgraded to Superfast as like of GT Express.

Pune to Manmad can easily be covered in 5 hours now and from Manmad to Mathura Karnataka Express take 15 Hours 30 minutes.

So Pune to Mathura via Bhopal can be covered easily within 21 hours by a normal superfast train.

Pune

to Vasai Road will take around 3 hours 20 minutes and then Vasai Road to MAthura will take another 15 hours 30 minutes.

So difference will be around 2 hours only.

Please note that Darshan Express and Duronto are not normal Superfast trains. Those are high priority trains.
