RailFans don't miss their train. Why? Because they go to the station HOURS before the actual departure of their Train - to watch OTHER trains depart. - Prince Maan

Great
Looks like SCR has proposed a dedicated biweekly train from SC to VSG in this year IRTTC.
With LHB conversion of 18047/48 planned this year there is a high likelihood that this train may get introduced if SWR and RB have no objections.

Most probably these guys have got hold of SCR IRTTC proposals this year and published this.

There is some mistake in the article too the train proposed will follow the slot of HYB VSG exp but in VSG HYB direction the timings are wrong the train will most probably dep VSG at 9.00 am and arrive SC 6.20 am.

Secondly

article says train will depart SC on Wednesday and Friday but for that it will need 2 rakes whereas with only 1 rake this train can be run by changing days another strange thing is CC says 8 GS and 4 SL that's an error I think its the opposite and they say LHB rake but no EOG in the CC.

Besides how trustworthy is the site ?

Then TPTY VSG might run as independent train on every Thursday I believe.

Agree
Seems like with the LHBfication of Amravati on cards, SCR is actually planning a dedicated train between Hyderabad and Vasco. Perhaps 17419/20 can also be regularised without a slip, again depends on SCR.

Good that a dedicated train will continue rather than a few coaches long slip. Will be interesting to see SWR's response, if it is routed via their golden goose CLR, QLM route.

Also I just noticed, what is this AV1, BV1, SV1 coach nomenclature in the 17021/22? Is it due to the slip with VSG-TPTY?

Agree:Should be done if slip is canceled
It's done in SCR slip trains to avoid confusion even slip coaches of VSG KCG carry similar numberings. VSG TPTY numberings are like A1 B1 S1 etc.

If this article is genuine and SWR actually clears the train then it will be a great news finally SCR will get a full dedicated train running on the route once belonging to them and also a long long pending demand to run dedicated train will be finally fulfilled.

Traveled in this train 2 days back from Krnt to Bay

It has lot of buffer and reached almost 55 minutes early at GTL

Despite both trains reaching (TPTY part and HYD part)

before time, no train disruption at station, train delayed by 15-20 minutes at GTL itself which is totally unacceptable. Staff at GTL should be serious to make quick turnaround similar to what we see in vizag/bza. Sad to see no major change in GTL crew behavior since my childhood.

The slip system itself should be discontinued and this train should be run as a full rake between HYB and VSG.
For TPTY VSG connection the MAS UBL via RU GTL should be extended to VSG once a week.
