It's not a semi bullet train. It might be an upgrade in terms of amenties and good for GKP-AY pax in the morning since the only other alternative is a crawling passenger in the morning. But it's mps is still restricted to 110 on the GKP-LJN main line and goes down into double digits when it traverses the MUR-AY route. Same for AY-BBK where it barely hits 100. Trains on the GKP-LJN main line can in theory match the VB when it comes to run time since they run via a shorter and faster route. However, the VB is given much higher priority [ for eg, never made to stand at outers of BBK and/or LKO waiting for a signal].
