When purchasing or booking tickets for a premium train, you likely expect to reach your destination faster and witness your train overtaking OTHER trains along the route.

However, you may be in for a significant surprise when, you sitting in a long-distance, 22-coacher premium train find your train being overtaken by a smaller, 8-coacher trainset.

This...

trainset would have departed from the same station nearly 1.5 hours after your train, yet is scheduled to arrive at the next station almost 1 hour before your train.

And yes, I'm talking about Rajdhani Express getting overtaken by Vande Bharat.

TVC Rajdhani departs TVC almost 1.5 hour before Mangaluru Vande Bharat but yet the Rajdhani gets overtaken by the Vande Bharat somewhere in the route and the Rajdhani reaches Kozhikode - 1 hour AFTER the Vande Bharat.

Isn't this funny? So what the conclusion is, you don't always get more after you pay more. Sometimes politics also gets to you!

P.S - I've no problem with Vande Bharat trains being operated but what I'm against is Vande Bharat being inaugurated in routes where there isn't much of a demand. You'll also see me appreciating a lot of Vande Bharat trains, when they're hit and have a good run.

But at the same time, it's sad to see the deteriorating conditions of older premium trains. More than 2 hours difference between Rajdhani and Vande Bharat in just 400 kilometres of run is laughable and kind of infuriating. Perhaps, the Rajdhani should get a speed-up.

Yes I'm not sure what they're trying to prove by having such large gaps between premium trains specially VBs.

Re# 6192028-6              
Is is because some slack is given to the Rajdhani? Either case, since the mps of both the trains is the same and the only difference is that VBs can accelerate faster, there shouldn't be this significant a difference. Maybe the VB could be 30 mins faster than the Rajdhani, considering it has it's halts as well, but ought to be no more.

Re# 6192028-10              
I understand slack and everything else you said but a difference between VB and Rajdhani in 400 Kilometres at the same MPS should not be more than 2 hours.

It's also atrocious to see 8 coacher short distance Vande Bharat overtaking a 22 coacher long distance Rajdhani and i would also ask, is pay more = get more not always true in IR. Am I right?

TVC also south edge of Kerala and second shortest route to Delhi is via SA TPTY BZA and GT. why not a Weekly Raj in this route? Will they provide MAS NZM Raj via KR so that like CR RAJ , it can also cover KPD SA ED TUP CBE and go via KR.

Just simple solution 2 days via Coimbatore Tirupati VJA and 2 days via madurai Chennai VJA. Both routes to TVC will take more or less the same time so rajes can be shared.

Quota only problem. if via CBE they will give till TCR alone GNWL. if via NJT upto KPD GNWL possible. MAS RAJ via KR comes means SA ED TUP CBE enjoys GNWL and reduced travel time for CBE TUP.
