Finally 😃 Very happy when saw the RTI no more crap of slip coaches, longest running train ICF train SER finally to be LHBfied 😍😍. Also all the garib raths to be LHBfied too . Great going by Railways.
Bro what about your name now ? 😂 Thought of any new ones ?? Or else you will be using earlier ones ? 🤔
Actually SHM LTT was to get LHB rakes last year only even coaches were allotted but then didn't happen.
I also think CC of Amaravati express will be restricted to 20 coach LHB rake only coz it has to undergo secondary maintenance at Vasco pitline.

Yep it happens some of the trains are alloted LHB and sometimes at the last moment they cancel it and give it for some other trains but they do however later convert it but mostly in 1 or more years. Coming to Amravati Express (18047) it will be restricted to 20 LHB coaches mostly but if they commision the 2nd Pitline that might not be the case because then it can easily accommodate 22 LHB coaches. Let's see if commissioning happens before LHB converison.

Rail12345 2264 blog postsAs per information, SER started talks with SCR and SWR to remove Slip coaches inorder to convert the ICF rakes of 18047 Amravati Exp to LHB coaches and convert it to Superfast Exp.
If it happens soon it will be a good move beneficial for passengers.

See here itself 2 hours speed up is possible for 18047. 248 kms in 6 hours 2 minutes it's a joke of a TT. Also removal of slip means LC can be shifted to UBL and it won't have to waste 40 to 60 minutes at GTL for the stupid slip attachment and detachment.
18048 needs new slot much more arrival time at SHM is too odd. Should be speeded up like:
VSG dep. 6.30 am
SHM arr. 9.00 pm.
Also is DVD halt necessary now that the train goes to VSKP ?

I think a lot of that section between GNT and Dhne is a ghat section. But I agree being FEDL trains need to run faster. GTL UBL absolutely tremendous speed up is needed. I think MPS here is 90 kmph and it clearly needs to be increased.
I have seen instances of 18047 running as high as 1.5 hours late at GID reaching GTL on time but then getting late at GTL again coz of slip attachment and LC and then SWR delaying it further in BAY UBL section.
