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.

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.

It was Vja Hubli Amaravati express daily train. Layer it was extending to VSG on one side and HWH on another side for 4 days and remaining 3 used to run from Vja to Hubli. After many years the frequency of Vja Hubli express is again increased to Daily. The patronage of the train is good before and after extention.

I was thinking the same thing, well if they do it probably they will have to resume the pre-covid trains and run existing ones with 22 Coaches. So, in the name of 2nd Pitline which can handle 22 Coaches they are playing with it and not giving it clearance. If they really wanted they would've have commissioned 2nd Pitline long back and with that they would have extended 1st Pitline as well. But the needle doesn't point towards passenger trains for SWR.

Will SWR have dared to run Karnataka express with 18 coach plus 2 parcel vans CC ? I guess not then can't understand why only VSG trains are treated like dirt. Even high in demand weekly trains like VSG JSME and VSG PNBE SF are not running with 22 LHB coaches. It's really disgusting of SWR and totally pathetic.
Also it's not like Dehradun or Kalka that VSG platforms or stabling lines cannot accommodate 22 coach LHB rakes it's just SWR creating CC restrictions themselves.
Another thing is that cartoon and third

class slip service run with Amaravati express. It should have been discontinued in zbtt and Amaravati should have been running now with a full 22 coach LHB rake having a pantry car too. Amaravati express can run with full 22 coach LHB rake as it doesn't have PM at Vasco but even here SWR does not allow it by refusing SCR proposals to cancel that slip by running a dedicated train. SWR is always the problem for us Goans and that's the reason why they are looked in such a bad light by Goans.

Your display name LHB_for_18047 itself shows the scrutiny of SWR or damage that they have done overall by not taking any considerations from general public. SWR is not evil but the way they play with VSG (very pathetic) and the cheap slip coach tactics done withholding it's conversion (18047), very sad state of affairs. After COVID SWR have gone the worst way to treat VSG, is it purely freight or they just want to continue with existing 12 trains and no more want to do anything for VSG !! God knows what's their plan 🙏.

People will be opposing it but at the end railways will however possible do it despite the criticism being faced and most challenging problem for UBL Division will be VSG-SKVL. (It is going to take very very long time) . My personal opinion proceeding Kulem they shouldn't be doing double tracking till Castle Rock very eco-sensitive terrain until studied properly specially the Dudhsagar stretch, earlier officials were saying about if they were to build a parallel bridge along with the existing bridge they would be building a retaining wall from the waterfall side and they had to face such a backlash from Environmentalists and the people. Meaning just the idea of touching that stretch makes everyone consider railways is so insensitive about it & that is true. Well, also as we had discussed earlier /blog/post/5959067 there are Stations in b/w for crossing and that is more than enough unless SWR...
more...
is so greedy for freight revenue that it won't even consider a pinch of salt before doing it.

Agree:So true !! Commision it ASAP !! 🙄
Yeah as of now they should only proceed with VSG QLM and CLR TGT doubling and try to get it doubled as soon as possible.
Also they should introduce more trains on the route to ensure the general public that SWR do care about passengers in Goa and tourism prospects for Goans. They have not even commissioned the VSG 2nd pitline which construction started in 2019 which severely restricts more trains to VSG.
