Unpopular opinion. Vande bharat should not run between two non metro city. It would be get occupancy only if it start from a metro. Recently started VB from Nagpur to Bilapsur is a good example. As ticket price of VB is very high there would not be demand for this if it runs between two non metros. Also minimum distnace should be 600 kms to utilise its potential. Run 5 pair each from six metros . Unnecessary stating trains in routes with low demand for premium train would be wastage of resouces.

It's like every zone will have at least 1 or 2 , regardless of patronage
Yes 75 trains within one year each zone should get atleast 3-4 originating trains. I guess 75 will not come and after introduction of 25 VBs RB along with RM will realise traffic potential in already running routes and will switch to sleeper version of VB and even then I doubt getting 75 VBs in another 2 years or end of 2024. It will go the way of Duronto and Humsafar concepts.
Maybe more as Vande Bharat will be Poster Boy of Railway development in 2024...😄
