LHB rakes allotted for this train gone now. I don't think this train will get it soon. In current financial year from April to June 2022 only 33 LHB coaches allotted to SWR by ICF and in July 2022 its zero, also by MCF allotment to SWR in this financial year is zero.
in 4th quarter of previous financial year more than 100s of coaches allotted to SWR by ICF and MCF most were AC coaches. Looks like they had planned to standardize the rakes of Goa express that's why bookings were suspended from June 25th.
But...
more... now its all gone all excitement, all the hype and everything.
FYI SWR's own RTI reply says Goa express LHB conversion was advised by RB in Q1 of this financial year on priority basis for passing through 130 MPS section, another RTI says VSG depot is capable of undertaking PM of LHB coaches, we also had pics and videos floating on social media of actual LHB rakes earmarked for Goa express.
But as Linkin Park said "in the end it doesn't even matter" 😔
