Agree Great:Very Good Decision. Great Great:Good Descision Great:good decision finally Disagree:Good Move
As expected.

Booking has reopened for Goa Express after 15th June, 2024.

Number of Sleeper Coaches have been increased from 2 to 6 .
...
more...

3rd AC Economy Coaches have been reduced from 4 to 2.

3rd AC Coaches have been reduced from 4 to 1

2nd AC coaches have been reduced from 2 to 1

Total AC Coaches Earlier: 11

Total AC Coaches now: 5

BAD day for those who are dreaming for India as developed nation till 2047.

A person who is ready to pay 3115 and in PT, this amount reach upto even 10000 will now have to look for other options just because INDIAN RAILWAYS want a person who wants to pay just 825 can travel.

Economy works on demand price relationship but in Indian Railways they are satisfying demand of that class which is paying just 825 and not even able to support there own cost of travel.

A person who could have contributed 10000 Rupees to Government using that government can feed 10 passengers of those category who just want to pay 825, Now will pay the same or more amount to some private operator which will result more financial losses to government and more earning for businessmen.


I will say that now Third Class coaches should also be reintroduced to more poor population can travel.

Useful
It was Vja Hubli Amaravati express daily train. Layer it was extending to VSG on one side and HWH on another side for 4 days and remaining 3 used to run from Vja to Hubli. After many years the frequency of Vja Hubli express is again increased to Daily. The patronage of the train is good before and after extention.

Agree Disagree:De
This train should be degraded to M/E category for the third class TT it's given in ET NZM ET section.
12779 has scheduled overtakes by 6 SFs and 1 Rajdhani just between GWL and NZM.
12780 has overtakes by 4 Rajdhanis, 2 Durontos, 1 Garib Rath, 3 SFs and 2 Humsafars between NZM and ET.
I don't think there is any SF
...

train with worse priority then this one. It will be perfectly fine as a M/E train.
The most humiliation 12779 getting overtaken by Gondwana SF which had twice it's number of halts in ET NZM section.
Even after LHB conversion and 130kph upgraded no chances of speed up so better will be to degrade to M/E and stop cheating passengers into paying SF surcharge.
