Tender for the construction of 2nd pitline at VSG was floated in January 2019 and expected completion time was 10 months, work was started somewhere in mid 2019 and now in December 2023 SWR RTI says VSG MAS express will be extended back to VSG once 2nd pitline is commissioned.
Almost four years still no signs of the pitline commissioning any time soon. This is the level of neglect VSG is facing under SWR. Looks like SWR don't want to commission the pitline anytime soon so they can reject new proposals citing maintenance constraints and run more freight trains.

Pic 3. Shot on 15/03/2023 showing status of 2nd pitline and still it is the same (observed by me on 15/11/2023). The sidewalk on one side of the pitline is yet to be constructed also don't know if other works related to pitline are still pending or not.
please wait...Translate to EnglishFour freakin' years have gone by and there's still no sign of that dang pitline being completed. This just goes to show how much VSG is being ignored by SWR. They probably don't wanna finish the pitline anytime soon so they can make excuses about maintenance and run more freakin' freight trains. Check out these pics: Pic 1 shows the tender document, Pic 2 is the latest RTI from SWR, and Pic 3 was taken on 15/03/2023, where you can see the pitline is still in the same sorry state. The sidewalk on one side still hasn't been built and who knows if there are other pending works too. It's a real mess, man.
please wait...Translate to HindiVSG ke liye 2nd pitline ki construction ke liye tender January 2019 mein float kiya gaya tha aur expected completion time 10 mahine tha, kaam mid 2019 mein shuru hua tha aur ab December 2023 mein SWR RTI ke mutabik VSG MAS Express VSG tak extend ho jayegi jab 2nd pitline commissioned hoga.
Lagbhag chaar saal ho gaye hain lekin abhi tak pitline ka commission hone ka koi sanket nahi hai. Ye SWR ke in neglect ke level ko dikha raha hai. Lagta hai SWR abhi tak pitline ko commission nahi karna chahta hai taki wo naye proposals ko maintenance constraints ki wajah se reject kar sake aur aur bhaari tren chala sake.

Pic 3. 15/03/2023 ko click ki gayi tasveer jo 2nd pitline ki sthiti dikhane wali hai aur abhi tak wahin hai (maine 15/11/2023 ko dekha). Pitline ke ek taraf ki sidewalk abhi tak banayi nahi gayi hai aur ye bhi pata nahi hai ki pitline se judi aur kaam abhi tak baaki hai ya nahi.
