We cannot change this train to LHB as this site is not affiliated to Indian Railways. This is a site run by rail enthusiasts.
As far as this train is concerned just see my screen name. I'm a die hard fan of this train but sadly this train carries slip coaches between Guntakal to Vasco Da Gama untill and unless those are cancelled this train won't get LHB rakes.
This is the longest running ICF train of SER zone now unfortunately still there are no positive signs of the slip getting

Also second problem with the slip is this is a high in demand train but due to slip coaches number of coaches in the train have been restricted to only 19 that too without a pantry car for such a long 40 hour journey.

Timings of this train are differing on IRCTC compared to IRI at many stations like SRC, KGP, VZM, BZA, etc.
Are IRI timings wrong ?

It's been almost 7.5 months since you posted this bro
/blog/post/5801454
Did the talks yield any results are SCR ready to cancel the slip, 2023-24 is gone now does this train have even a slight chance of getting LHB rakes atleast in FY 2024-25 ??
The ICF rakes are in horrible condition the train badly needs LHB rakes and more AC coaches
...

and pantry car too which is only possible after LHB.
Any information you got bro ?

It's not with SCR its SWR which should be ready to give a new slot from Hubli to Vasco. At present Hyd Vasco and Tirupati Vasco are running with single rake and rakes and roaming here and there as spls. SCR wanted to increase frequency of both to triweekly.

Re# 6013490-2              
Many link trains were cancelled without giving an alternative for the cancelled link train like for eg. the Kalka slip carried by Paschim express. Now after QLM CLR doubling put on hold by Supreme court I doubt SWR will allow HYB Goa train so that doesn't mean this slip should continue. Just see SER have given LHB rakes to all of its long distance trains except this one and SHM LTT exp.
So regardless of the fact HYB Goa new train is introduced or not this slip should be cancelled ASAP. Also VSG KCG slip they have to wait for 4.5 hours at GTL for connecting train that's literally a joke. Secondly they can also increase VSG to SC and SC

to VSG quota in VSG JSME express. Also VSG TPTY link can be cancelled and VSG HYB weekly can be run with full rake as if my memory serves me right SCR had actually asked for a dedicated HYB VSG train but as it was election time the Goan politicians lobbied and got the TPTY link started too it was a bad decision RB shouldn't have allowed a new link train in the first place but unfortunately they did.
