It is a Fast Passenger with an average speed of 38 kmph. Why does the Railway claim that they have the capacity to run the Trains at 130 kmph? It seems that the 130 kmph is limited to only 10 to 20 trains in India.

Re# 6170466-14              
I'm telling you the updates which I have got that inaugural was from SC because train proposed by Secunderabad MP and not by a politician from Goa so most probably inaugural will be from Secunderabad the same way Vasco Jasidih express inspite of being SWR train inaugurated from JSME coz it was proposed by Dubey ji.
And 15th September inaugural is cancelled as per the update I have. I hope it's inaugurated before the end of this month. And SC VSG express is definitely a new train coz it will require seperate slot for two days a week present link trains did not require seperate ones as they run linked with Amaravati express and TPTY express.

Re# 6170466-17              
I know that after SC VSG express introduction they will cancel both link trains and Amaravati express LHB conversion is planned this financial year don't know about TPTY VSG express.
But treating SC VSG biweekly express as compensation train is not correct there was always a demand for dedicated Hyderabad Vasco train and those two link trains were infact compensations for not fulfilling the demand. Running those two link trains did not require additional slots as they run combined with Amaravati express and Tirupati express but now Secunderabad Vasco biweekly express will require additional slots so it should be treated as a new train and the compensation link trains would be gone for good.

Great Great Great Great:.
Looks like SCR has proposed a dedicated biweekly train from SC to VSG in this year IRTTC.
With LHB conversion of 18047/48 planned this year there is a high likelihood that this train may get introduced if SWR and RB have no objections.

Agree
Getting new trains via Braganza Ghat section is difficult both SWR and RB don't even allow a weekly. See what happened to VSG MAS weekly express.
This SC VSG biweekly train is a long pending demand for many years SCR are pursuing it and took a long time to fulfill and only because of SER wants to LHBfy SHM VSG express and for that KCG VSG slip will have to be cancelled besides Secunderabad MP G Kishan Reddy also lobbied with RM for this connectivity.

As of now only thankful to Railways and MP of Secunderabad Kishan Reddyji for fulfilling this long pending demand.

But in future Speed up should be given especially in return direction VSG dep. time should be around 11.00 am, SC arrival at 6.00 am.

Also
...
more...
SC dep. should be around 2.00 pm and VSG arrival at 9.00 am and frequency increase to triweekly.
