JBP Chandrapur ICE is there in front i thought VB could be better. I dont have much deeper knowledge on those areas. I usually heard and saw when i visited there r lot of omni busses between jabalpur and nagpur as road is much faster and shorter than train in that route people usually prefering it. So I thought might be Itwari termination and slow time table of ONT make it struggling.( Some experts here might shed the light on those real reasons. ) so if some fast and competing train in that route connecting noon trains when connectivity is less it can be much successful as this VB TT connects GT TN AP SBC raj in both directions making this as fastest xfer between JBP G to south capitals.
