Increase in frequency of the train will require additional rake of which this railway is presently facing shortage. Hence, the proposal is not feasible. Composition of a train is decided by Railway Board to cater various segments/class of people. General class coaches can-not be replaced by reserved coaches as the same will be resented by the present users. This railway is having shortage of coaches. Moreover, these trains are running with full load between Porbandar and Ahmedabad on diesel traction. Hence, augmentation is not feasible by 19201/19202 Porbandar-Secunderabad Express. As far as requirement of one 3 AC coach by 17017/17018 Secunderabad-Rajkot Express is concerned it is advised that same has been augmented from 04.09.2013 till 16.09.2013.
