Even VSG JSME runs on Friday although route is different between GTL to SC.
On a different note even VSG JSME should run biweekly now. SWR should really do it.

There were plans to extend Pune Duronto to MAO don't know what happened to it. But I feel route via SECR now would be bad considering the way they troll trains even Pune Duronto becomes victim.
Only present route to HWH looks better. This train should be made daily by giving a new slot and upgrading to SF by cancellation of slip, shifting LC to UBL and giving LHB rake thus 130 MPS in certain sections in HWH BZA.

Unless the slip coaches cease to exist...this train isn't gonna get LHB coaches.
But the biggest impediment in getting the LHB coaches is SWR who don't allow multiple trains through the Braganza Ghat section due to lack of slots.

People from Hyderabad require a dedicated daily train to Madgaon...current weeklies are terribly slow and hence people are forced to book either buses or

flight options.

They are slow not coz of Ghats but even on LD GTL line which is FEDL they run horribly slow even Amaravati express slowed down post covid.
SWR gave trains on SBC UBL section major speed ups even before it was fully doubled but on UBL GTL things are pretty bad.
One solution i have is they have not yet restored VSG MAS via YPR to VSG so don't do it instead increase UBL MAS biweekly via GTL RU one day to VSG do RSA with VSG VLNK rake and run it
...

and then cancel VSG TPTY slip coz we'll already have a full train to RU then increase CC of VSG HYB to 23 coaches and cancel KCG slip.

I'm sorry daily train from HYB to VSG not possible as the ghat section doubling is put on hold by the supreme court and no major political pressure exists for such service neither from TG nor Goa. Only way is ask TG politicians to demand as Goan politicians are totally useless they only know to say yes sir yes sir to Railways and drink alcohol and party.
