RailFans don't miss their train. Why? Because they go to the station HOURS before the actual departure of their Train - to watch OTHER trains depart. - Prince Maan

I'm from Rewa (for those who'd call me outsider).
As expected, no fully AC Train within Madhya Pradesh would ever be successful.
Even during Diwali, it's barely getting filled.
Other times on average it has 35+ Seats available in EC and 350- 400 Seats available in CC.

in Madhya Pradesh are extremely penny pincher misers, paying Premium Fare for daytime service isn't their cup of tea, they'd rather travel cheap overnight or in Sleepers. My extended Family having enough money travel in Sleeper Coaches of Rewanchal Express while I travel in AC 2 Tier of Same train.
It was a bad decision. Even running a service between Jabalpur and Varanasi would've made much more sense. This is excruciating to see, all due to ego of WCR Jabalpur Division.
I know seats normally get filled last minute or on the spot in Madhya Pradesh but even for that there's a limit.
Give it to Bhopal, let them run services to Ahmedabad, Surat, Lucknow or wherever possible. This is a wastage of resources, even for Summer Season I'm not sure.

Not necessarily, different type of crowd boarding in. Jabalpur Intercity didn't shut down after introduction of Vande Bharat from Rewa.
Anyway target is Bhopal Travelers intending to complete their work and return during daytime.
There's a huge potential for boost in Maihar Crowd. MP tourism can introduce Special AC Travelers, Separate VIP Lines, A buffet System (if required) for Premium Charges like 300/- to 600/- for Vande Bharat Travelers intending to complete the entire Darshan and return in a single Day.

no motive in current timings, timings in Jabalpur are too late for people intending to complete daytime Administrative Work and return by evening, nor people of Rewa/Satna would go to Maihar in Vande Bharat, no Administrative Work could be completed in a day on these timings.
For the demographic it serves, timings make no sense.
People would rather travel in the day to Rewa Station and take Rewanchal in Night to reach Bhopal early morning. Rewa isn't that big of a City to fill Premium Trains on it's own, never was.
