India's one and only Daily Secunderabad Visakhapatnam Garibrath Express Inaugural run with brand new LHB Coaches.
Video courtesy: VisakhapatnamJn Facebook Handle.

But Almost all coaches are marked ECoR. Is the primary maintenance going to shift from SCR to ECoR VSKP?

No Such Proposal with WAT as of now.

VSKP had enough 3E Coaches with it & ran specials to MS, QLN & SRC using the same 3E Rake.

Happy to see GR converted to LHB. It is a convenient train between VSKP and HYD. Glad that railway did not increase the fare even though they converted to LHB.

It would be better for passenger if they augment with another 2 coaches so that it can run with 22 LHB (max cap for LHB rake)

What is very much special about LHB to Increase Fare?
There are many other trains which got LHB Rakes from ICF. If Fares didn't increase for those trains then why would RB Increase specially for GR's?

Janmabhoomi got LHB Fare remains same

got LHB Fare remains same

I don't understand what is so special with Garibrath trains that everyone was worried about its fare after LHB

From 13th August, 2024 this train is temporarily augmented with 2 more 3rd AC E coaches. This arrangement should continue upto Deepavali season to know the demand of the train. If it is favorable it should be made permanent augmentation
