According to me, increasing the frequency of 12741/42 would not be feasible until the pitline at Vasco is built because, as of now, 12741/42 is sent to Madgao pitline for maintenance. As a resident of Vasco, I have only seen Goa Express and Vasco-YPR in the pitlines at Vasco. These two trains come back in the morning and block the two pitlines for any other train. Similarly, Vasco-Salimar is also sent to Madgao, as I have personally seen Vasco Salimar's empty rake crossing Madgao and going towards Vasco.
As of now (according...
more... to me), the best option would be regularizing 07309/10 because if SWR, CR, and KR are able to run this train with slots available, it wouldn't be a problem to regularize it.
Certainly, here's the revised paragraph with your addition:
And as always, SWR was so efficient in handling the announcement of 07309/10 that till now there is no information on their website. Kudos to SWR.
I also had another idea to remove the role of SWR from 07309/10 by starting and ending the train at Madgao. The functionalities and services of Konkan Railway are so efficient and better than SWR, and the chances of SWR becoming the roadblock in this train's regularization are too high. The chances of Konkan Railway listening to passenger requests are much higher.
please wait...Translate to EnglishI think bumping up 12741/42's schedule ain't gonna happen until the Vasco pitline is ready 'cause right now, those trains go to Madgao for maintenance. As a Vasco local, I've only seen Goa Express and Vasco-YPR chillin' at the pitlines. They hog the pitlines in the morning, not leavin' space for other trains. Same goes for Vasco-Salimar, headin' to Madgao. The move now (in my view) is to get 07309/10 on track regularly. If SWR, CR, and KR can handle it, then keeping it regular won't be an issue.

SWR hasn't even updated about 07309/10 'cause they're pros at that. Big up, SWR. Another thought is to kick SWR outta 07309/10 and run it from Madgao. Konkan Railway's operation is smoother, and they're more likely to listen to passengers than SWR.
