Great

As per information, SER started talks with SCR and SWR to remove Slip coaches inorder to convert the ICF rakes of 18047 Amravati Exp to LHB coaches and convert it to Superfast Exp.
If it happens soon it will be a good move beneficial for passengers.

As per latest information, SWR and SCR has agreed for removing the Slip coaches and allowing SER to LHBfy Amravati Exp preliminaryly. Some more discussion can happen maybe if required.
Hope SER now LHBfies this train soon. It is required

Useful

@5801454-6 @Rail12345

Hope it happens soon. It's one of the very few remaining ICF trains now on HWH BZA route also since most of the route between GNT to GTL is double line now they can think of reducing the slack and upgrading it to SF category. Also a pantry car and additional AC coaches should be added.
I have also filed RTI with SER yesterday asking for list of LHB conversion planned by them in FY 24-25.

With 130kph MPS in HWH BZA section, reduction of the big slack in GNT GTL section, avoiding slip attachment and detachment at GTL, shifting LC from GTL to UBL and removing some halts like DVD (since it goes to VSKP now) atleast 2 hours speed up is possible which would be enough to raise average speed to 55kph for SF conversion.
Also pre covid when LD HPT route was not fully double line and GNT GTL was a single line totally it used to do HWH VSG at 53 kph average and VSG HWH at 54 kph average speed.

We cannot change this train to LHB as this site is not affiliated to Indian Railways. This is a site run by rail enthusiasts.
As far as this train is concerned just see my screen name. I'm a die hard fan of this train but sadly this train carries slip coaches between Guntakal to Vasco Da Gama untill and unless those are cancelled this train won't get LHB rakes.
This is the longest running ICF train of SER zone now unfortunately still there are no positive signs of the slip getting...

Also second problem with the slip is this is a high in demand train but due to slip coaches number of coaches in the train have been restricted to only 19 that too without a pantry car for such a long 40 hour journey.
