by the time train starts its journey it will be more than 80% full. so it is quite a useful & popular & successful train, with such kind of occupancy train must be in profit.

I have many a times observed in this forum that just because Chandigarh got a third Shatabdi, people would start criticizing it without even looking into the facts.
Same is the case with JP-DEE DD, even though its running with extra coaches and is popular to last minute travelers, people here just see the vaialbility and declare a train WE. Same used to happen with NJP-HWH Shatabdi, thank God perceptions for this has changed a bit.

Also, considering train successful only if you don't get a ticket on it quite well in advance, say 45 days , is not correct.
