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.

For Raipur Rajdhani via sdl-kmz route to succeed, days of run need to be changed as current timing would clash with CGSK and public here won't opt for premium fare train to witness OTs by freights as the time difference between the two won't be much.
I feel for that route to succeed financially, Sunday and Wednesday would be fine as there is no any other dedicated CG train to Delhi other than the crawler Chhattisgarh Express. But two hurdles would be:
1. NR objecting as it's RSA pattern with Jat/Rnc/Dbrt Rajdhani

at Ndls would be disturbed.
2. WCR/NCR crying foul over path constraints as Jabalpur's favourite child MPSK would be trailing all the way to Nzm.
However, both can be resolved if some political presure is exerted like wise cabinet minister from Ambikapur Ms. Renuka Singh did for Abkp Nzm special regularisation.
