Had an Ultra Short Journey in Bilaspur Nagpur Vande Bharat Express. DOJ: 18th August 2023
Even TTE asked me why was I only traveling till Raipur in EC 😂
Rainy Morning at Bilaspur.
Typical SECR controlling, got regulated just at Bilaspur Outer. Stopped for 5 times midway till Raipur. Got Overtaken by Freight Trains twice to overtake them at next station. Overtook Gondwana Express...

at Nipaniya.
It's a total mess and this train has an Ultra Relaxed Run. Maintainence was average, EC was filled with Mosquitos and Staff was running around with Mosquito Zapping Rackets.
There was barely any occupancy from Bilaspur, only some CC's had good occupancy. EC had 12 people including myself. Saw good rush at Raipur for all coaches.
Breakfast was loaded from Bilaspur only but saw it getting prepared for serving just before Raipur Junction.
Was served Tea in Paper Cup not Ceramic Cup.
Reached 10 minutes late at Raipur.
