Hit 19323 DADN-BPL Intercity Express which was scheduled to arrive at the same platform just minutes after VB departure.

The rush that you see on platform are all Bhopal going passengers but only a fraction of it went in VB. Everyone was taking selfies with the new talk of town. 1 thing that I observed that on the contrary to the data that we get from charting that only 40-60 passengers have booked in the train I saw almost 150-200 passengers actually boarded the train.

I also think that there is a strategy to place both VB and Intercity at same platform, to attract potential passengers because I heard a lot of people saying " Kabhi try karte hai Vande Bharat ko bhi (Let's try Vande Bharat someday)", also scheduled departure of Intercity is 6:35 AM but at INDB now they are showing INDB arrival at 6:40 and departure at 6:45, I travelled in it today and observed that IR is now deliberately delayed the intercity because it was running unconventionally slow (avg wise) and getting unscheduled halts as well. It departed 12-15 minutes after VB from INDB and reached Bhopal 2 hours after VB at 11:28 AM today. I think IR is subtly trying to project VB as better train in the subconsciousness of passengers (maybe I could be easily wrong here)

Honestly I have said this before too. JBP and BSP got incredibly lucky to be the HQs of their respective zones, both have railway infrastructure, passenger amenities and dedicated passengers trains count that is way above their paygrade/Hindi me bolu toh aukaat.

Unfortunately there are 1/2 members from JBP particularly who are probably dense and don't accept this reality. I have had arguments with them prior, and what can I say they live in a world of their own. I do accept my mistakes when I am wrong, I owned up and

I am happy that PNBE-RNC VB is doing well, nobody wants a white elephant running between their home states and I am very happy. Unfortunately the JBP VB is competing directly with a fairly successful and lower priced Jan Shatabdi directly and on the exact route if I may add, that is ill planned and arrogant...

Credit to SECR it plans it's trains much better, if it is a train bound to the north they start it at Durg so that entire Bhilai Raipur belt is covered, similarly south bound trains are started from either BSP or Korba. In that way a bulk of CG state is covered up. Even the BSP-NGP VB was a good concept, it got poor patronage on account of running with 16 coaches and a relatively slow TT!

And finally the BPL-ADI VB could be a great idea if they can find a good running slot for it. It has the potential to be quite successful.

Both the babus and people at JBP must realize JBP will never be equal to BPL/INDB which are the big two of MP!
BPL is the capital and twice the size of JBP, the gap in GDP is even higher.
INDB is actually dubbed mini Mumbai for god-sake! How can delusional can one actually get...
