Re# 5946759-20              
They were ICF coaches given to KR by SWR for KRCL trains. In ICF days KR coaches had KR SWR markings coz SWR used to supply them coaches. After LHB they got their own.
VSG don't need to send coaches to MAO for repairs as VSG has its own coach care centre. For POH coaches are sent to UBL.

Re# 5946759-22              
Nope bro even after Goa express was LHBfied there were lot of LHB coaches left with VSG CDO. Also this train had got 1AC too it was given to Goa express i spotted the marking below the door of Goa express at VSG once.
UBL NZM SF some SL coaches will be reduced and given to UBL BSB express which is getting LHB next month.
Vasco Patna SF was allotted LHB coaches.

Agree Agree Agree
Reason stated by SWR for cancellation of LHB conversion.🤦🤦
Total nonsense if migrant workers was the reason then they could have given this train the CC they will give to UBL BSB express with 6 SL coaches.
The most obvious reason is this train's rake will either be given to VSG VLNK express whose bookings are suspended from January 2024 or UBL BSB express whose LHB CC bookings are opened on IRCTC from February 2024.

So can we expect LHB for VSG VLNK next year? If so will the CC be standardized one (as VSG CDO has similar CC for Goa SF and VSG JSME?)

Thanks
Bookings were suspended of this train from 15 November SWR issued PR for LHB conversion than cancelled it at the last moment.
Similarly bookings were suspended of both VSG YPR express and VSG VLNK express from January 2024 but SWR have reopened bookings in VSG YPR express with old ICF CC so it's LHB conversion must have been internally planned but later on reverted back the decision now VSG VLNK still has some chances of LHB conversion but again it may too be cancelled if HQ decides to give it's LHB rake to some other train.
Also
...
more...
all VSG PNBE and VSG YPR were in SWR LHB conversion list of FY 2022-23 but still not LHBfied.
And again in FY 2023-24 VSG PNBE SF, VSG YPR express and VSG VLNK express are in LHB conversion list.
Regarding CC if at all VSG VLNK express gets LHB rake it's CC will be standardized too that's why they suspend the bookings.
