Most probably this rake will go to some other train now and this much deserving train will continue to run with the old ICF rake.
Bad decision by SWR. This train should be transferred to ECR.
They destroyed Goa express by not giving LHB rakes on time and now even this train can meet the same fame fate too. Already it's running late always.

Re# 5831994-2              
After LHB conversion this train will be restricted to just 19 coaches apart from the parcel van. Situation will be worst for passengers unfortunately due to reduction in total number of seats of such a high in demand weekly train.
Don't know why SWR officials are too dumb enough not to run this with full 22 coach LHB rake plus one HCP.

Only 19 coaches bad decision by SWR. Should have given 2 more SL and 1 more GS. Total 22 LHB rake should have been given.
Also most probably VSG VLNK can be LHBfied from 20 November since it's bookings also suspended.
