Useful Useful Useful:Bpl dadn ice at 5pm is a competitor Useful:nice info
A summary of the FIVE VANDE BHARATS being launched together!

Note:
1) CSMT-MAO VB will run faster post Monsoon i.e. from 1st November 2023 with a run duration of only 7 Hours 45 Minutes on both sides.
2)
...
more...
PNBE-RNC VB takes a shorter route by about 30 kms when compared to the Jan Shatabdi.
3) INDB-BPL-INDB goes via Ujjain which isnt done by its competitor Intercity express.

Interesting Fact:

The CSMT-MAO VB with Monsoon TT becomes the first VB to not make its return journeys on the same day. It will run only thrice a week in each direction.


Do comment if you spot any mistakes or if there's some detail/opinions you would like to add.

Happy Journeys!

Good one! End to end passengers might prefer overnight trains but we will see it being well used by Mangalore - Goa section passengers too.

Useful
In some cases, like RNC-PNBE, the Jan Shatabdi goes via a different route[Bokaro Steel City in this case thus serving a different set of passengers altogether]. In others, I assume 2nd Sitting in JS is a lot cheaper than VB. VB would be multiple times expensive for just an hour faster in some situations. Lots of passengers can't shell out that money.
