Queen of SWR. Runs full throughout the year as it is the only connection to BGM from SBC. Excellent cleanliness in all classes. The sleeper coaches literally shine. No UR passengers allowed by TTE even in SL coaches. Runs BT at MRJ and KOP. Book at ARP and enjoy the ride in the queen. Travelled last year and was impressed.

For those travelling in 3 tier AC. While booking please select the preferred coach as B1 or B2 as both the coaches are close to the second entrance. Where as the thrid 3 tier AC coach B3 is close to the last coach which would mean that you would have to walk quite a bit to reach your coach if you are using the second entrance.

Train gets almost empty at BGM and reaches MRJ around 20min BT. A lot of slack provided b/w MRJ-KOP section.

Ideal connectivity to Goa from sbc..
Since it is extremely difficult to get confirmed tickets on MAS - VSG express and since the YPR - Vsg departs at 3:00 pm,this train is the best betBook till londa and after 3 hours board amravathi to reach mao @ 1 pm / 2pm.
