This train had been diverted via Salem, Namakkal and Karur since 2 trips and there is no PR for this. Are they hinting at permanent diversion of this train via SA, Namakkal.

It really seems feasible to divert this train via Namakkal and shifting its arrival at TPJ around 6.30 AM

Perfect CC for LHB conversion if SWR wants. If I'm not wrong highest AC coaches in a UBL division train ??
Also what happened to the LHB coaches marked to Goa express coz heard they gave old LHB rakes to Hampi/GG ??

Check this video Bagarapet to Tumkur he travelled with UBL WDP4D link.
I think it gets KJM/UBL WDP4D from VSG till ED/TPJ and vice versa and then ED/TPJ till NGT GOC Alco. Only need to confirm where the LC takes place ED or TPJ. Then loco links can be updated accordingly.

Now even VSG YPR and VSG PNBE/JSME should get more number of AC coaches.
Ideal CC for VSG YPR should be one 1st AC cum 2nd AC, one 2AC, four 3AC, 9 SL, 4 GS, 2 SLR.
VSG JSME one 2AC, four 3AC, 10 SL, 4 GS, 2 SLR, one PC.
VSG PNBE SF one 1st AC cum 2nd AC, one 2AC, four
...
more...
3AC, 11 SL, four GS, two SLR, one PC.

There was previous PR by SWR to augment with two 3AC later on another one came for only one 3AC and now one SL. Confusion.

The way they have added 2 more 3AC, looks like standard SWR LHB rakes with 7 AC and 7 SL

Re# 5367942-5              
Amaravati needs to be run with 21 LHB rake now it's high time also the ICF rake is in bad condition i saw at VSG last month. Slip needs to go now.
They should utilise the rake of VSG NGT and restart VSG MAS via GTL RU and cancel the VSG TPTY link and run VSG HYB full rake and cancel the KCG VSG slip.

Nope. Next year most probably. Even the chances of Goa express getting LHB are looking doubtful now.

Standardization done with ICF rake itself they should add a PC to this train too. And instead of idling the rake for 4 days at SVM/VSG should restart VSG MAS weekly with RSA.
It's already running with 2 AC three tier coaches on temporary basis as of now marked at BE1 and BE2. After temporary augmentation is over those two will be renamed as B5 and B6. No LHB here.

This train doesn't get any electric loco link. The KJM EMD it gets from VSG hauls it beyond BAW too. Then at one of its loco reversal spot it gets a GOC Alco.
Someone please confirm the location where the KJM is replaced with GOC Alco.
