8Lately been pondering on this:

There are so many trains connecting Mumbai n Goa but still why Bus Operators in this stretch make great incomes...

There are plenty of AC
...
more...
buses running on this route n all run full almost daily. So demand exists for AC classes too at par with Non AC ones... So based on certain findings I have compiled up as under as to how to totally check mate Bus lobby Mumbai to Goa :

1. 12051/52 JNS to be retained as it is. One CC to be replaced by 2 Second Seating Coaches

2. Tejas shd be extended till MAO n will run Triweekly as

CST : 07:10
MAO : 16:10

MAO : 08:00
CST: 17:00

3. 10103 Mandovi will be speeded up to depart CST at 10:00 hrs n arrive MAO @ 21:45 hrs

10104 Mandovi will run as per existing schedule

4. Netra/ASR KCVL slot+/Matsya/GR slot to be retained

5. LTT VSG Uday DD Triweekly express shd be introduced slot sharing with 22629/30 DR TEN Express (11085/86 cancelled permanently)

LTT VSG UDAY
VSG LTT UDAY

6. Will be followed by weeklies /Rocket/KK n RR

Soliciting your Comments on this.

Thanks in Advance

Agreed. Mumbai mangalore Mumbai SF should be converted to 24 coach rake. But then we need to wait till cst gets more 24 coach enable platforms since the time of departure of Mumbai mangalore SF exp is a congested time at cst with less platform availability. There are plans to convert platform 10,11,12 & 13 into 24 coach enable platforms. And may be pitlines scarcity for 24 coach trains will also be a problem. Experts pls comment.

Just 4 PFs at Mumbai can handle 24 coach trains and this is creating a serious problem for many trains...

One reason is VSG the largest city of Goa and Panjim the capital of Goa are not connected to Mumbai by Rail.
Panjim it's ok since it dosent have rail connection at all but VSG it's possible to give but politics between KR and SWR.
