Useful Great _/\_:The SWR paradox 🤷🏻‍♂️
I had file RTI asking SWR when will they extend this train back to VSG answer was after 2nd pitline is commissioned at VSG but when you ask in RTI when they will commission the pitline they say it's already done.
The truth is they have already commissioned 2nd pitline at VSG in early 2023 but they have not constructed catwalk for full length on one side so as of now it's only used for stabling spare coaches and for doing PM of VSG Azara parcel special train.

But

today I have filed a grievance on pgportal regarding the issue, hoping for a positive reply soon.

Seriously required to reextend this train with RSA with VSG VLNK. Earlier VSG MAS had rsa with before said train. VSG VLNK doesn't have any RSA too . For Chennai people to go for Goa, either we should go to Bengaluru to catch YPR VSG or to Mangaluru many trains available there.

Even from VSG there is no proper connecting train to UBL to catch UBL MAS exp at UBL.
I think it was bad planning on part of SWR to agree to run 17321 on Friday from Vasco they should have kept that pitline slot free for VSG MAS express on Thursday morning and should have run 17321 on some other day.

The train should be extended To Vasco via RU, GTL, BAY, UBL as the 2nd pit line is commenced at VSG. Since this train does not have much patronage on the existing route due to daily 17309/10 VSG - YPR Express. Also it is the only train connecting Goa to hinterlands of AP.

Re# 5775370-30              
Yes that should be done but since it's Vasco SWR won't care. Here focus is only to increase freight traffic this is one of the reason why locals oppose track doubling because even for a single line section passenger traffic is too low. The so called 2nd pitline at Vasco is in construction since 2019 but SWR not even bother to commission it yet.
Even the old pitline can accomodate max 20 LHB trains they don't even bother to increase its length for 22 LHB coaches. Trains like Goa express, Vasco Patna SF, Vasco Jasidih exp would have run with 22 coach LHB rakes if they were running from SBC/UBL but since it's VSG in Goa no one cares. Also Vasco

Patna SF would have already been running daily.

But the VSG - MAS was introduced way back when the second pit line didn't even exist at VSG. It was short terminated only to increase freight traffic without congestion at VSG. Why was the VSG - Jasidih introduced was it the need of the hour then or to fill the vaccum created by VSG - MAS then the same could have been restarted.

VSG JSME exp additional train introduced now. No one could have opposed the train as huge political pressure was there to introduce it. SWR always opposes VSG SC dedicated train but they couldn't do a thing to oppose JSME exp.

Tender for the construction of 2nd pitline at VSG was floated in January 2019 and expected completion time was 10 months, work was started somewhere in mid 2019 and now in December 2023 SWR RTI says VSG MAS express will be extended back to VSG once 2nd pitline is commissioned.
Almost four years still no signs of the pitline commissioning any time soon. This is the level of neglect VSG is facing under SWR. Looks like SWR don't want to commission the pitline anytime soon so they can reject new proposals citing maintenance constraints and run more freight trains.

1. SS of the tender document.
Pic 2. SWR latest RTI.
Pic 3. Shot on 15/03/2023 showing status of 2nd pitline and still it is the same (observed by me on 15/11/2023). The sidewalk on one side of the pitline is yet to be constructed also don't know if other works related to pitline are still pending or not.

Coal is imported from foreign countries via MPT and transported to steel plants in Karnataka.
In return some steel rolls, some ore for export are brought by these wagons.
