The timing and days are not good. Train reaching BDTS in afternoon means the day is wasted. Secondly departure from BDTS at 4 is very close to other trains on this route upto Ju/BKI. On Thursday, there is already BDTS-Ju Hamsafar in the evening. So my suggestion is that it should share slot with Ju-Bdts Hamsafar but run on Thursday from BKI and on Friday from BDTS. Anyways the trains departing on Friday from BDTS are always full and need more capacity.
If we want to focus on the convenience of passengers and increase the popularity, then the operational restrictions can be managed. Anyways the route is doubled between Ju- BDTS and electrified, so even if Valsad train has taken a slot, it doesn't mean another train can't run with a gap of 15-30 minutes. Pls check the slot of Ju-BDTS Hamsafar train and then back calculate the Bikaner time. it should be very similar ( + 1.5 hr) to the earlier slot of Ranakpur exp when it used to reach Ju at around 3 pm.
