Everyone is a gangster (Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Tejas) until the real Gangsta (Vande Bharat) walks in 😂 - Mushfique Khalid

I think timing is also the reason why it'll pseudo terminate at AYC and not AY simply because that would take an extra ~15 mins in both directions. If NDLS-CNB were fit for 160 kmph and LKO-AYC could support 130 kmph [ can't say about CNB LKO since the soil in that area is the main issue ]; the train would get better patronage.
