Agree Great:Very Good Decision. Great Great:Good Descision Great:good decision finally Disagree:Good Move Disagree:Good move by railways. Great:बहुत अच्छा हुआ
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.

I don't know why Railways don't want to run a train like this with full 22 coach LHB rake. They could have easily increased SL coaches from 2 to 6 without reducing AC coaches simply by removing the 2 parcel vans and increasing CC from 20 to 22 coaches.
22 LHB coach pitline at Vasco is in construction since 2019 but SWR are in no hurry to commission it. Too bad situation.

VSG present pitline can handle max 20 LHB coaches only. 22 coach LHB pitline has been constructed almost 90% work done but after that works have stopped. As of now that pitline is used to stable spare coaches only.
VSG platforms can easily accommodate 22 coach LHB rakes. Ideal CC for Goa express would have been
SLR GS S5 to S1 PC M4 to M1 B4 to B1 A2 A1 H1 GS GS EOG.

They could have run a weekly Amrit Bharat train between Vasco and New Delhi for those SL and GS passengers instead of reducing AC coaches. Also I don't understand why no one has objections with those two parcel vans in this train with limited CC. 4 GS coaches plus one SLR are too much. By now Railways should have got rid of unreserved class in all M/E trains. GS coaches should have been reserved as 2S it would have largely helped to reduce UR passengers boarding SL and AC coaches.

I think 3E coaches should have been removed and replaced with 3AC as it's a long distance train. 3E coaches of this train could have been to overnight trains of SWR like VSG YPR, etc.

By pricing 3E fares around 25 to 30% less than 3AC they should have added them in short distance overnight and GR trains.

I don't think it's least preferred train from entirety of Goa to Delhi. Maybe tourists will prefer Goa SK or Rajdhani but this is the only dedicated daily train between Goa and Delhi secondly Vasco, Savordem and Kulem people prefer this train first as no other train to Delhi goes beyond MAO.
Infact the automatic coach washing and second pitline at MAO is just waste of funds. It should have been VSG having 2 fully 22 coach LHB length pitlines with automatic coach washing facility.

SER is always ready to give LHB rakes to Amaravati express its only SWR and SCR who are the hindrance. As of now Amaravati is the longest running ICF train of SER.

Will SWR dare to run trains like Karnataka express, Sanghamitra express with CC of 18 or 20 coaches ??
Then why are VSG CDO trains like Goa express, Vasco Patna SF run with such limited CC. These tough questions should be asked to SWR officials.

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.

Iss train ke AC classes mein bahut sare middle class aur upper middle class log travel karte the. Iske AC coaches full chal rahe the itne AC coaches Kam karne ki jarurat nahi thi.

Infact we didn't even need a dedicated category for VB trainsets. Existing Shatabdis should have been upgraded to VB and if demand was there a new Shatabdi could have been started with VB trainset.
Here the need of the hour is installation of kavach across IR and conversion of all existing ICF trains to LHB and not a new category of premium train.

Even in single line highly saturated routes like KR's Mumbai Madgaon where already a Jan Shatabdi and Tejas exist they gave a VB.
But proposal for daily conversion of overcrowded train like Vasco Patna SF put down by all zones including KR citing slot sharing issues. Here they could not adjust slot but for VB they are ready to delay n number of non premium trains.

It was only because of previous RMs like Lalu IR is in the condition it is now. Only for political gains kept on introducing new trains without forecasting future demand and neglecting increasing the railway tracks.
Well how many trains did he give LHB rakes ?
How many DFCs projects he start ?
How many lines did he double or triple
...
more...
?
If fares were gradually rised IR wouldn't have been in the financial condition it is today. Not rising the fares in proportion to rising expenditures was the worst thing govts did.
Garib Rath is an absolutely horrible concept.
