I've read your arguments and while they seem to hold some truth. Let me show you the bigger picture.

KR is a separate entity, agreed. But don't you know even zones seek each other's coordination to run their trains? Haven't you read about blah-blah zone rejected others proposal? KR is not some god-like entity. In the end RB is the ultimate authority in the real world.

SC-VSG is in fact a crawler. But something is better than nothing, isn't it. They're now getting an option of full length dedicated train. Why is it so bad? Get out in real world, even crawlers run on heavy WL. Or just read some discussions on this site itself, people are dying here for crawlers.

How come once you say zones can't even move a pen without RB's instructions. But in the very next post you blame the zone for not LHBfying it's own trains but rather LHBfying the KR ones? Do even you agree to yourself?

Let me tell you something, the economic shambles KR is in, even they'd have preferred freight movement if they owned the VSG-CLR route. And the profits from MPT's coal goes in fulfilling the freight revenue goals of the same RB you've been applauding since so long.

What premium trains are you expecting on an overtly congested ghat section which is not even electrified? Would you pay a premium to be overtaken by freights? Or have you not read the stories of SECR and the premiums passing it? Or are you expecting a Vande Bharat on a diesel route with some 30kmph MPS?

SWR for sure is an incompetent zone when it comes to Goa, but they've revenues to generate for the RB you look so highly to, within a route which is already slow and congested. And the KRCL you're so proud of, mostly runs trains for Mumbai, don't Goans need to go to other places than that?
