Bookings were suspended of this train from 15 November SWR issued PR for LHB conversion than cancelled it at the last moment.
Similarly bookings were suspended of both VSG YPR express and VSG VLNK express from January 2024 but SWR have reopened bookings in VSG YPR express with old ICF CC so it's LHB conversion must have been internally planned but later on reverted back the decision now VSG VLNK still has some chances of LHB conversion but again it may too be cancelled if HQ decides to give it's LHB rake to some other train.
Also...
more... all VSG PNBE and VSG YPR were in SWR LHB conversion list of FY 2022-23 but still not LHBfied.
And again in FY 2023-24 VSG PNBE SF, VSG YPR express and VSG VLNK express are in LHB conversion list.
Regarding CC if at all VSG VLNK express gets LHB rake it's CC will be standardized too that's why they suspend the bookings.
please wait...Translate to EnglishThey stopped taking bookings for this train from November 15th. The South Western Railway (SWR) announced that they were converting it to LHB coaches, but then they changed their minds at the last minute and cancelled the conversion.
Similarly, they also stopped bookings for both the VSG YPR express and VSG VLNK express from January 2024. However, SWR has now opened bookings again for the VSG YPR express with the old ICF coaches. This means that they must have been planning to convert it to LHB, but then they changed their minds. There is still a chance that the VSG VLNK express will be converted to LHB, but it might also get cancelled if the headquarters decides to give the LHB coaches to another train.
All the VSG PNBE and VSG YPR trains were supposed to be converted to LHB coaches in the financial year 2022-23, but it hasn't happened yet.
And in the financial year 2023-24, the VSG PNBE SF, VSG YPR express, and VSG VLNK express are still in the list for LHB conversion.
As for the CC (Catering and Coach services), if the VSG VLNK express does get LHB coaches, then they will also standardize the CC. That's why they have suspended bookings.
please wait...Translate to Hindi15 नवंबर से इस ट्रेन की बुकिंग्स रोक दी गई थी SWR ने LHB कन्वर्जन के लिए पीआर जारी किया फिर आखिरी क्षण में इसे रद्द कर दिया।
इसी तरह जनवरी 2024 से VSG YPR एक्सप्रेस और VSG VLNK एक्सप्रेस की बुकिंग्स रोक दी गई थी लेकिन SWR ने VSG YPR एक्सप्रेस में पुरानी ICF CC के साथ बुकिंग्स फिर से शुरू कर दी है इसलिए अंदर से LHB कन्वर्जन की योजना हो सकती है लेकिन बाद में यह निर्णय वापस लिया गया है अब वीएसजी VLNK के पास अभी भी LHB कन्वर्जन की कुछ संभावनाएं हैं लेकिन यदि HQ उसे किसी और ट्रेन को देने का निर्णय लेती है तो फिर इसे भी रद्द किया जा सकता है।
इसके अलावा सभी VSG PNBE और VSG YPR SWR LHB कन्वर्जन सूची में थे FY 2022-23 की लेकिन अब तक LHBfied नहीं हुए हैं।
और फिर से FY 2023-24 में VSG PNBE SF, VSG YPR एक्सप्रेस और VSG VLNK एक्सप्रेस LHB कन्वर्जन सूची में हैं।
CC के संबंध में, यदि वास्को डी गामा विजयपुर सिटी VLNK एक्सप्रेस को LHB रेक मिलता है तो उसका CC भी स्पष्टीकरण होगा इसलिए उन्होंने बुकिंग्स रोक दी है।
