GNT Guntakal needs 30 mins more and also Guntakal Hubli 30 mins more. Not possible to cover 400km in 6.5 hrs even after doubling and need sectional slack. Same 260km need 4.5 hrs otherwise the train will run late every day upto Madgoan.

The frequency of the train should be increased to daily if not 3 days to Belgavi/Kolhapur.

Will do the necessary changes. But also enormous slack i have added on last journey leg between MAO to VSG.
Regarding daily conversion it has slot sharing between HWH/SHM to BZA with other weeklies.

The Hyderabad slip coaches should be scraped and S10, S11, PC, and a general coach should be added on this train. Similarly the same should be done for Vasco NZM Goa express.
If Braganza ghats are not capable to bear the load of 24 coaches train, then instead of giving excuses, SWR should develop the section and should also develop the Vasco Da Gama station as a premier world-class terminal station.
Instead of Karmali/Madgaon, Vasco da Gama should be developed as a premium terminal station. If possible, a bypass line should

be developed between Verna and Cansaulim, such that those trains which are presently terminating at Karmali, can be pulled into Vasco, thus preventing any Reversals at Madgaon.
SWR is just a fool who is letting go so much of revenues that could have been generated if it would have focussed on Vasco station.
Your all views are most welcome.

YPR slip coaches are cancelled for Goa express but the Hubbali slip coaches are still running. I feel as already 2 Karnataka sampark krantis are running plus a new weekly Rajdhani gonna be running via Hubbali, so the Goa express slip coaches should be removed.

i feel for Sbc there should be one daily Sampark Kranti via Kcg which primarily serves sbc (per say bangalore sampark kranti)

one daily slot via Ubl. ( 2 days present Ksk, 2 days Cdg Sk, 1 day mys ubl nzm sk, 2 days mys/sbc, bay, nzm, jat sk).

That Rajdhani will definitely get clearance, at least maybe to run as an AC SF. But I really wish IR to make the YPR KCG NZM SK be daily by providing the TPTY JAT HS a separate slot. And making the travel time of YPR UBL NZM SK to be changed such that on a single time slot multiple weeklies could be run on the said route.
