sudhirgoa~ 9366 blog posts12051 has a Vistadome coach. The Vistadome coach has an observation area on one side where one can stand and watch the view. In 12051 the Vistadome coach is the last coach and therefore there is clear view of the rail track and the scenery from the observation area. However, in 12052 the vistadome coach is immediately after the loco therefore the observation area does not offer any view other than the back of the loco. Therefore, if you decide to travel by the Vistadome coach, it makes sense to book by 12051 rather than 12052

As it is, the JS has to have a quick turn around time at Madgaon to return to Dadar on time at night. Just imagine, how much time the shunting will take. The coach not only has to be taken to the back of the train but has to be REVERSED in direction AFAIK the observation area is only on one side of the coach. Try and imagine the situation, and I am sure you will understand the complication.
