Actually SHM LTT was to get LHB rakes last year only even coaches were allotted but then didn't happen.
I also think CC of Amaravati express will be restricted to 20 coach LHB rake only coz it has to undergo secondary maintenance at Vasco pitline.

Yep it happens some of the trains are alloted LHB and sometimes at the last moment they cancel it and give it for some other trains but they do however later convert it but mostly in 1 or more years. Coming to Amravati Express (18047) it will be restricted to 20 LHB coaches mostly but if they commision the 2nd Pitline that might not be the case because then it can easily accommodate 22 LHB coaches. Let's see if commissioning happens before LHB converison.

Condition of tap in AC coach the train. 🤦🤦
Click this screenshot from his video only.
Two things he clearly mentioned
1. ICF coaches are too old and in bad condition inspite of the maintenance staff working hard to clean and maintain the train ICF coaches are starting to show their age and he clearly says LHB coaches are badly needed in...

this train.
2. No proper food served by the side pantry. He points out a train travelling 41 hours journey 4 days a week needs a pantry car it's surprising why it's not given.

He says he's lucky his journey is only upto UBL and not any further.

Also this train is the only connectivity from West Bengal to Goa. People from North East too prefer it as there's no connectivity for them to Goa. A lot of migrants from North East, West Bengal and Odisha use this train and for then it's the only rail connectivity.
