Just a trivial thought came into my mind...
Which are the long distance trains which have or had RSA at the non-PM end?

The ones I remember

Between SBP-HTE, this train can be easily speed up by 1hour. Journey time can be reduced.

Useful
Puri extension will reduce TAT and PF constraints at Puri will ruin this train's punctuality and maintenance. Already Bangriposi-Puri SF is suffering due to Puri extension.
But yes,
BBS extension is feasible.

Its too early to say but NFR can think of utilising this rake by starting a new train DBRG-Puri weekly via GHY-NJP-Howrah. It will surely be a hit due to its weekend runs and ample AC coaches.

VB allotment update : Out of 8 VBs, 7 VB trains have been allotted to respective zones as per ICF.
ECoR, NR, SCR, SR, ECR, NFR & WR zones are the lucky recepients and the latest VB still remains under IR.
Note: Majority of these VB trains are in orange livery. I believe NR, ECR & ECor zones are one of the lucky ones.

For ECoR, i think most propably a BBS/puri to Vskp VB is on cards.
Or else a VSKP-BZA...may be..

Puri VSKP with KUR reversal can be feasible.......or better can be BBS-VSKP which would take lesser journey time.

Such a big slack this train has between GNT to GTL. It easily recovered a 2 hrs delay and arrived GTL 15 minutes BT.
Also because of the slip attachment and detachment at GTL in addition to loco change it had to take a long 50 minutes halt. If slip is cancelled the loco change can be completed in much less time or shifted to UBL.
In the end it reached VSG just 5 minutes late.
This

train can be easily speeded up by 2 hours if slip is cancelled and LHB rakes given. SER should definitely put up such proposal in next financial year.
Also completion of GNT GTL doubling will also help.

SWR not in support for coaches increase due to Braganza Ghat. Its what they always give excuse.

Just see what mockery have been done to Goa express post LHBfication. SWR never focuses on Goa as it focuses on Bengaluru region.

Goa express wont be getting rake standardization any more.
No more non AC coaches will be added.
Whereas Amaravati express needs more and more SL class coaches. LHBfication will give a free hand to "babus" sitting in railway board and SWR HQ to make a mockery of this train.
Better option is SER just do the routine LHBfication. Thats it. That

Re# 5974165-7              
Dude ...if SER demands like coach increase or speed increase in SWR, then surely Amaravati will become the next Coromandel and Goa exp......
And 10 SL coaches are sufficient, yes but if reduced then serious complications will happen.
Post slip removal and LHBfication, the rake composition should be
Loco.SLRD.Gen.Gen.S1.S2.S3.S4.S5.S6.S7.S8.S9.S10.B1.B2.B3.B4.B5.A1.SLR.

Come once to SHM or KGP or BLS during this train's timings. You will understand the need and demand in SL class. How much crowded this gets. I regularly see this train at BLS and have travelled many times from BLS to JJKR in SL class throughout the year. Its just so crowded with people in SL class. Difficult to even walk in corridors or to toilet.

Agree Disagree:Reducing SL coaches is a necessity.
Reducing the SL coaches will only increase the crowd and people will suffer more. And starting a new train nowadays is just a political gimmick. Govt doesnt care for needs. They just use this for their political benefits.
