Did they cancel VSG-PNBE LHB conversion to give rakes to this train instead?

Good to see. Was the PC simply added to previous CC or did it replace some other coach?

SWR RTI reply obtained some days ago regarding 17311/12 VSG MAS express extension to VSG and LHB conversion of 12741/42 VSG PNBE SF exp.
LHB conversion in process means coach allotment is in progress I mean ??

Re# 5784823-3              
Now the 2nd pitline is ready, and earlier there were certainly no constraints when running MAS exp upto VSG, when most of the route wasn't doubled pre-2020. Atleast let us have all the old trains that ran until that time, I've given up on hoping for SWR to issue any new trains on this route.

I too travelled from VSG to MAO onboard 12779 on June 23rd and while poles were laid at most places, there was no sign of wiring being done so I was surprised to see that post on FB. But there have been times when electrification has been done rapidly depending on external factors, like Marwar-Jodhpur section in March-April '22 and SBC-UBL line earlier this year. So I assumed a month was enough to finish off CLR-QLM and MJO-VSG if given enough priority.

As of late May, I saw most of the ghat

Re# 5781240-17              
We needn't blindly compete with developed countries in every single aspect, the average Indian man can't afford to travel in AC classes unlike the average French or Japanese. We must focus on competing with developed countries where it benefits the average person without them having to pay significantly higher fare for an AC ticket. Eg. punctuality, maintenance and safety. IMO rake standardization isn't necessary to achieve any of those goals.

Improving the standard of train services doesn't justify pricing out the majority of passengers who rely on trains as their only affordable

Bookings suspended in this train w.e.f. VSG from 15/11/2023 and w.e.f. PNBE from 18/11/2023.
Most probably LHB conversion after spotting its allotted LHB coaches by a RF from UBL division /blog/post/5745583

Hope this doesn't end up like JSME express, most of this train's demand is for SL class only I believe.

Wish they could increase the frequency also, because there's only two daily trains to MMR/BSL/ET route from here and they run totally packed. I've known several folks who would have benefitted if frequency of this train or CBE-JBP spl would be increased.
