Re# 5876156-10              
Perfectly said. The travelling pattern is completely different for SNSI VB. 16C is required for this route.
I have seen many people opting out of Road transport and preferring this VB for a one day return Darshan at Shirdi .
This Train however if provided with a halt at MMR, can take care of additional 10-20% occupancy on weekdays.

Agree
This is just Morally wrong. What bout long distance passengers ? All trains are subject to halt at every coconut tree and is made to run as super crawlers inside Kerala. Reason given always is Office goers benefit.

VB is giving a breakthrough in reducing travel time for long distance passengers and hence both VBs are running at 150%+ capacity. Again in the name of Office Goers, VB passengers have to suffer .

Very much .. while Mangalore Jn and port cn be given to SWR, Mormugao Port and line from Kulem to Vasco should be given to KRCL.
SWR doesn't pay attention to Vasco at all. They require only revenues from Mormugao Port and all slots are used up for running freights rather than passenger services.

No.. 8C VB rake will be used most likely for this service.
16C has been re-alloted to ER to be used as a spare. Another 16C spare is with NR.
