Earlier there used to be a Janshtabdi (Madgaon-MAQ) which had more stops but still didnt get much patronage and was stopped. The introduction seems more political so that coastal Karnataka is also connected. A superfast intercity kind of train with more stops will be s sure hit is what I think. In future once electrification happens this can be a good intra state option if extended will Hubbali or Belgavi but that will take a long time. I guess railways will surely be monitoring the poor occupancy of this train & hopefully they will do something
