October to December is usually a good season with festivities ( Puja, school vacation, Diwali, Chhath, end of the year and so on) I guess the challenge for all VB across India will be how the occupancy is from Jan till April ? Any idea as to what generally is considered a good occupancy % by railways. If it is less than 100%, I am sure they might have some benchmark. Is that 80% or so ?
The occupancy will low from Feb to April mid or end due to exams and no festivals and these VBs will purely depend on business travellers to whom it is intended for. Ideally the avg occupancy should be 75-80% when more travellers travel end to end realisation per seat will be more. But for some VB like this one where the occupancy drops midway by 50% @ 60% of run km then the occupancy on any day should be 90-100% from HWH to Tata section irrespective of seasons that too this being 8 coach carrying less passengers on high density route.
Mid- Spring to Starting of Autumn excluding the summer vacation part, is usually where only intended journeys take place in our country. Mostly eliminating leisure travels.
Split occupancy in most cases yield more earnings over end to end occupancy. Example, earnings collected will be more if someone travels from A to B then another one in same seat from B to C.
That's why end to end occupancy isn't the sole metrics for calculation.

I would expect an 8 coach VB to be full always, otherwise it's a failure in my view. If a route can't give patronage to 8 AC coaches, then just run a conventional ICE with say 6 AC coaches and rest as 2S/GN. That will invite tons of more passengers and carrying capacity ultimately increases.
Also, Kothsila and Chandil are just time wasting stoppages judging by the data. They should be removed.

They won’t remove any stops until the formation of next government after 2024 elections !
