I had written IR to withdraw Shatabdi Express from VB routes to @RailMinIndia Twitter account. @RailMinIndia replied by saying "Withdrawal Of Train Service is decided by Railway Board, any misinformation shared will be dealt with legally".

I came after long time and I am seeing only fights on occupancy and that particular route deserving status. I also saw posts on where ICE is must there came VB - Do we even have Non-AC / ACCC being manufactured to - Answer could be too less for these and more for SL, CC VB's AB's RR's etc. IR or RB aren't concerned about these posts either. I'm wondering if there is any rule stating that trains must only run if there is 100% occupancy? or if they are half empty they're supposed to be stopped? Because we have VB's now and Shatabdi's must go off? Tomorrow we will get Sleeper VB's so does that mean that Rajdhani's must also go off? Whoever wants to travel they will. Also, there were days when same Shatabdi's were running in WL. Not just this when whole IR only...

had 2 VB's initially all these premium ones were full. Just the thing is that people are excited about new pattern of trainsets + so much of media publicity is being promoted and the enthusiasm can last longer. We aren't the auditors of Indian Railway to decide which train or service has to run or to stop and in near future we all will surely see dozens of these services and in late future what's meant to stay will and what's not will phase out.

Vande Bharat is a good step forward for Indian Railways, offering faster, more comfortable travel. They help modernize the rail system and meet the demand for quicker and more comfortable journeys. However, to make sure they succeed, it’s VERY important to choose routes where there’s high demand, so the trains don’t run half-empty or underperform. Like, come-on, is there a need to waste 2 rakes to cater few dozen passengers in VBs like LKO-MTC and TATA-BAM.

At the same time, there's no need to stop running older trains like Shatabdi and

Rajdhani. These trains have been reliable for years and still serve passengers well. VB trains shouldn't replace them but rather complement them, giving travelers more options based on their needs and stops (for example, a train like Bhopal Shatabdi stops at Mathura and serves Mathura based pax well but other two VBs and Gatiman dont stop here)

By running both VB and traditional services, Indian Railways can cater to different types of passengers and avoid unnecessary competition between the trains. It’s all about using the right train for the right route.

I agree with your point.I only wrote this post with a news reflecting NCR earnings in which this shatabdi was earlier the top earner and now isn't any where in Top 10.

This was my personal opinion after observing the daily occupancy of this trains.I won't be writing any such posts further.

Top 5 railway stations of Lucknow NR Division on the basis of footfall-

2- Varanasi Jn.
3- Ayodhya (Cantt.+Dham)
4- Unnao Jn.
5-

Sultanpur Jn.

Unnao Jn. really surprised me. Despite of being in between Lucknow and Kanpur, Unnao having such a huge footfall but low revenue shows that there is enough public for trains but due to lesser number of trains having stoppages here, railways isn't properly utilising this station.

Intially they can start with 8 coaches, if required then it can be increased, as both the cities are fast growing in terms of business, education and Cooperates.

Mangalore Madgaon and Bhubaneswar Visakhapatnam are not even getting 250 travellers on all days. As Vande Metro is of 1100 capacity the numbers can't reach that number. They to be converted into Intercity express and also Tatanagar Bherhampur.

High time 22303/04 was extended to BSB, only then the 16 coach rake would do justice. 8.5 hr HWH - BSB (and back) would be pretty feasible. All that is needed is a little bit tweak in timings.
