Btw. One thing I forgot. It left ET at 5.10 pm and arrived Jabalpur at 7.47 pm, that too despite significant crawling between Sontalai to Pipariya.
Useful. There is a scope of 15 minutes speedup without any slack removal, if slack is adjusted then 25 minutes speedup is possible
5 minutes halt should be reduced from both ET and JBP no need of 10 min halt, crew change and Food Loading can be done in 5 minutes. So 10 minutes can be saved here, 10 minutes slack can be removed from JBP-ET section and 5 minutes from JBP-STA section. But I guess this would be too much to ask for, as of now 15 minutes speedup is easily possible. After ET-JBP-STA 130 kmph 30 more minutes can be saved.

The train has a capacity of 470 seats. On a normal day from Bhopal to Stations beyond Jabalpur should have min 200 travellers while Bhoal Jabalpur 200-250. The seats vacated at JBP should again be filled by min of 100+ travellers everyday from JBP. Then only the train will be financially viable with sectional occupancy of 80% on normal days.IR need to need realise the full fare of the total run.
Lets give it sometime, Bhopal to Rewa is a good demand sector but the issue is that Normal passengers are more than Premium Passengers, I think it will go full on Diwali then by word of mouth or experience of passengers this may get decent patronage.
