Official reason by SWR for cancellation of LHB conversion of Goa express.
Looks like the rakes allotted to Goa express will be given to some other train now as no plans to change the rake of Goa express as of now.
As per the reply looks like VSG CDO not capable of PM of LHB stock. Still don't know how they did PM of VSG NZM Clone Humsafar last year.
Unfortunately

looks like a dark day to be a RF from VSG. No chance of VSG getting LHB rake anytime soon. Looks like here SWR never bothered to upgrade VSG to handle LHB because all they care about is BOXN traffic.
Better SWR cancel all passenger trains from VSG except the 3 pairs of VSG QLM DEMU and terminate them at MAO which is a fully capable LHB yard. No more worries then KRCL can rejoice new passenger trains and SWR can fully convert VSG into a freight yard. Win Win situation for both KRCL and SWR. ЁЯЩП

Yes exactly the point. When they knew that there are operational constraints why even decide to inform the public through posting it on twitter etc ?

One RF from VSG tells me that the PM of VSG NZM clone Humsafar used to take place at VSG also there were even extra spare LHB coaches for that train kept at VSG. (His Instagram account even has those pics of clone on VSG pitline, some spare coaches and LHB coach in the coach care centre)
Someone other RF from MAO tells that it was taken to UBL CDO for PM and then brought back to VSG after PM done.
Total confusion here.

Even if we believe VSG don't have infrastructure to handle LHB then wasn't the time from February til June enough to upgrade VSG CDO ?
SWR clearly never had plans to LHBfy any of the VSG CDO train in the first place.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
