Stupidity at its best. But also should blame SWR here nobody trusts them anymore in Goa now what have they given to Goa in return apart from coal dust. When it comes to first LHB parcel train of UBL division they ran if from VSG then why not first LHB pax train of UBL division from VSG.
SWR is neither giving new trains to VSG neither LHB converting any existing one when clearly their own RTI response says three of VSG base trains were scheduled to be LHBfied in Q1 of FY22-23.

I would have entirely blamed the locals here but now along with these locals SWR should also be blamed.
Another thing annoying is SWR started construction of 2nd pitline at Vasco nearly 3 years ago still not commisioned due to which they are running VSG MAS express as UBL MAS express. No trains to Mumbai, BGM, coastal Kranataka and Kerala from VSG inspite of repeated demands. Really pathetic situation.

Pre covid VSG used to handle only BOXN freights and now we got BCNA, LHB HCPs, they increased freight but pax trains indeed reduced from VSG ie. Vasco Karwar, Vasco BGM paxs and VSG MAS weekly express. And pre covid VSG CDO had zero LHB rakes and even now it's zero.
Even Goa express runs with 20 plus 2 parcel vans inspite of running heavily waitlisted when they should have removed those two parcel vans and added AC coaches.
Recently they gave PC to UBL BSB express but why no PC to VSG PNBE SF and VSG JSME exp even both these long distance trains running with just three number of AC coaches which is pathetic and not even a single train from VSG has a First class AC service forget about premium category trains.

Commissioning of the 2nd pitline can give some hope but as i have said it's around 3 years now they are still saying its under construction. Don't know if they will even commision it.
Today at SVM i spotted a LHB parcel rake stabled at SVM railway station on my end of the rake was a LSLR on the other end there were one or two EOGs. I guess it's the rake of the existing Vasco Azara LHB Parcel special or maybe SWR planning to start new LHB parcel special from VSG.

was really painful and on the face insulting as it made me remember those SWR big PRs on twitter regarding starting first LHB parcel train of UBL division from VSG but these ungrateful people don't even want to LHBfy a single weekly train from VSG as if SWR is purposefuly taunting us Goans.
