Vaishali Express - जितना सुंदर तुम्हारा नाम उतनी सुंदर तुम्हारी चाल - be my valentine - Rahul Vatsa

Bro, I didn't say it runs empty. I've travelled myself and I know it doesn't run empty. What I said is that there aren't many takers for e2e. I just saw the chart and there are maximum bookings in SL class from JBP to INDB. In AC, JBP-BPL/RKMP has occupied many seats, and there are also boardings from NU and GAR. Obviously, Vande Bharat won't stop there, so I said earlier that it's very important for UJN to have a stop. This will increase the chances of getting extra patronage. Otherwise, think about it, even with so many trains running on the JBP-RKMP section like Janshatabdi, Amarkantak, Jabalpur-Somnath or Overnight, how many passengers will Vande Bharat get? In the Bhopal-Indore section, they are directly competing with Chartered Buses. You can't just rely on JBP or INDB for VB to run, right? If Ujjain has a stop, then extra passengers travelling to Mahakaleshwar from Jabalpur, Bhopal, and Itarsi will be added, and patronage will also depend on the timings kept by WCR/WR. If they mess up there, then no one can save it from flopping.

Bhai, khali nahi chalti hai ye train. Main khud travel kiya hu isliye pata hai. Maine kaha tha ki e2e me kaafi takers nahi hai. Abhi chart dekha toh JBP se INDB me maximum SL class ki booking hai, aur JBP- BPL/RKMP me AC me bhi khafi seats booked hai. NU, GAR se bhi logon ne booking ki hai. Isliye Vande Bharat ko rokne ka koi chance nahi hai. Maine bola tha ki UJN me halt hona chahiye, tab hi extra passengers mil sakte hai. Jabalpur, Bhopal, Itarsi se Ujjain Mahakaleshwar jane vale extra passengers mil jaaenge. Timing ka bhi depend karega ki kitne passengers train me travel karenge. Agar timing sahi hai toh aur passenger bhi zyada honge. WCR/WR wale locha na kare, warna flop ho jayegi train.

Yeah, I agree. It's kind of sketchy. By the way, there's an open slot at 13:45 from JBP. The chances of an early morning departure are good.
