Varanasi Vande Bharat is actually ЁЯССтЭдя╕П, it's a tight slap to the face of all those idiots who were questioning the capabilities of Prayagraj, Kanpur and Varanasi. Same is true for Vijaywada, Rajahmundry, Visakhapatnam and Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat- ЁЯСС indeed.
Katra Vande Bharat was always expected to have this much occupancy and so did New Jalpaiguri Vande Bharat. ЁЯЩМЁЯП╗
I'm actually surprised at contrasting occupancies of Mysuru Vande Bharat and Gandhinagar Vande Bharat considering both are running between metro cities mostly with Shatabdi Express running with minutes gap. I guess having Vadodara, Surat...
more... helps and having Mysuru actually doesn't but seriously there's no equal to demand of Mumbai Ahmedabad Route except may be Chandigarh Delhi.
Even Amb Andaura Vande Bharat has surprising occupancy considering it's main contributor Chandigarh has it's own 3 Dedicated Shatabdi Trains to Delhi in addition to Buses, Flights and of course excellent highway for car drive.
As I had mentioned in earlier blogs, Mumbai Solapur Vande Bharat is cashing in on early evening departure due to huge gap in Afternoon Departures towards Pune, Konark Express used to have monopoly here. Considering Speed, alternatives available and pathetic food/service I've been hearing about- Solapur Vande Bharat does have decent occupancy, shows people of Pune do have idiotically insane amount of money to spend on expensive alternatives (myself included due to my regular Vistadome Trips ЁЯШВ).
Same goes for Nashik and Shirdi Vande Bharat.
Was expecting worse numbers for Nagpur Vande Bharat, all things considering this is more than expected. ЁЯШВ
