Very excited to see a long-distance train from Vadodara and that too, for Varanasi. A dream train of mine being fulfilled after 15+ years. Hope it takes the fastest route via Kota-Bayana-AF-Tundla-Kanpur-ALD-Bhadohi. I am also hoping against hope that they don't extend it to ST/ADI on the BRC side and GKP/Bihar on the BSB side.
