During the design upgrade of two Mumbai-Goa trains — Konkan Kanya Express and Mandovi Express, the railways has reduced the number of coaches to 22 from 24. The move has been criticised by commuters as both the trains are almost always over-crowded. The railways replaced the existing coaches with LHB (Linke Hofmann Busch) one. With the upgrade, the number of sleeper class coaches have come down to nine from 11. The number of general and AC coaches remains the same.
