Swaraj Gang has taken 5.40 AM slot, thats why with so many stoppages enroute it will get overtaken by Swaraj also. Hence, any departure after 5 AM or before 6 AM will be disastrous for it. Even if it starts at 5.30, it will reach UMB after 9 AM considering the slots occupied by other Superfasts and VBs.
Swaraj can be given priority and overtake can itself happen before azadpur when both the trains will be on different sections..
before 5 am departure would be too early for people of RE and GGN ..
while after 6:30 AM... i guess .. Shan e Punjab and Shatabdis would suffer..
IR can take the narrow slot of 15 mins after Katra...

Yeah 6.10-15 AM still seems to be kept reserved for a VB. That's a premium time for a premium train originating from NDLS. I think in future we may see this slot being allotted to a ASR/Punjab bound VB.
A 5.30 types departure, then stoppage at Sonipat & Panipat means Swaraj and VBs overtake will happen before Panipat itself and it also means that it is made to trail Ekta too.

Have followed this thread and many members spoke that the sector has premium travellers and there is no necessity for cheap intercity trains to compete. I have gathered occupancy data of New Delhi Daulatapur Jan Shatabdi which leaves in afternoon. The train has 9 GS sitting reserved 1000 seats approx and 4 ACC 320 seats making a total capacity of 1320. The train is in WL for about a week in both sides and today after chart preparation both are not available. The train has a vacancy of 550 while ACC 197 from Chandigarh to Una means the number travellers who deboarded at Chandigarh. The WL trends showed there is still demand for 2 more GS and another ACC. So the demand for restoration of Himalayan Queen stands justified. Whether it's independent train or extention of Jodhpur exp from Sarai Rohilla or using the rake as independent train...
