Special treatment to special train.

---

And for the terminating station (54 km part) heavy slack of almost 2 hours was also given but still managed to arrived late 😂😂.

---

12 hours late 🤦🤦 feeling sorry for the passengers who have to face such horrible situation. Such overcrowded train and on top of that hot weather across the route. I feel this train should have been given more no. of AC coaches atleast two 2AC and six 3AC/E.
Even Vasco Patna SF express some SL coaches should be replaced with 3AC coaches.

---

Even I agree with that, Labour class or even other normal working class from UP or Bihar can easily afford AC berths not big of a issue. At least 4 SL could have been replaced with 4 3E or 3A. With almost 2 ½ days (54 hours) of journey and given the heat waves very difficult to travel in Sleeper too with such overcrowding.

I have seen labor class from Goa even booking in tatkal 2AC in 12741. I had the opportunity to speak to some Bihari wholesale clothing owners at Madgaon and they told me they always go for AC travel in 12741/42 as SL coaches are too crowded and once their belongings was stolen in the train.
Even 12741/42 CC should be changed only 4 AC coaches for a 2000+ kms travelling train that too in hot climate is too bad. Atleast 3 SL and 1 GS should be replaced with 4 third AC coaches and additionally a pantry car should be added too.
