Train rakes to get facelift at Golden Rock workshop

Yeah.. TVC did a good thing.. As RCF didnt even manufacture any Pantry Cars for SR this year, chances of Kerala getting LHB is very bleak now. But since BAND HS (which may come or not) may not require a PC, and one LHB rake is lying idle at IPL with adequate no. Of coaches, TVC can include that PC and make Kerala LHBfy atleast one rake.
TVC can induct these Utkrist rakes to TVC-VRL and GIMB-NCJ which have similar coach composition..
SG also selected for UTKRISHT project and have LHB coaches
Their lhb coaches will be upgraded

But i guess the biggest challenge with one rake of LHB will be the change in seating numbers to be done in the reservation system. The pre-defined quota for tatkal, RL, Pooled quota all will have to be redone. Of course if they dont do any thing it will still work as LHB will have more seats in any case. But yes rather than letting the rakes lie idle and getting spoilt it can be tried for one rake at least
Still it can be possible, as happened with Kushinagar, Vaishali, Vikramshila, Himgiri etc.. They are long diatance trains too..
