It is running alomst from 3 yrs when vskp gandhidham exp is introduced in Jan 2014 along with vskp tirupati special which has rake sharing with vskp jodhpur exp. Only change first introduced as special then changed to different formats special fare, suvidha. Vskp tirupati used to run with 1645 dep vskp and reached tirupati at morning which is very convenient and used to run full eventhough its Monday but timings change and experimentation of suvidha concept its occupancy is effected to dome extent.Even vskp nanded special ran for years together before regularized. Vskp nagarsol bi weekly special also ran for years before regular train vskp shirdi us introduced. They should regularize both the specials but IR will lose the special fare status and extra 30% income so will continue to run for some more time may be.
I have not said like that, IR may continue to run that specials with special fare to extract more income. We don't know their policy now under the present RM and rly board. Many specials are running in the same routes from Years/months in different formats with the same rakes. BBS YpR is running from Dec 2013 sambalpur Ypr (don't know the date) vskp sc/tirupati chennai Erkm chennai tirunelveli. Many specials are being run IR may/may not regularize only time will tell.
Policies wont change with RM. Its upto IRTTC, Railway board to decide on new trains ( Technically)
