Bengaluru Coimbatore VB and Uday had very good occupancy today though weekday and long holiday weekend starts from tomorrow afternoon. As the dep time is 1415 IT professional or working class may not prefer aa they need to start from workplace by 1200 or 1300. Irony is both of leave at the same time and arrive at same time with different fare structure and Comfort. VB doesn't have advantage of IT corridor localities while Uday has stoppage at KR Puram gateway to East IT corridor. Next need to check the current availability from BNC to Hosur to ascertain who are the prime patronage provider.

Hope the route is also revised. In other words, swapped between Uday and Vande Bharat, so the former will be providing a proper intercity connection whereas the latter will provide a high speed connection in the faster route, truly serving it's purpose.

Wrong selection of route whatever changes on TT it will not increase patronage in weekdays as it's over capacity in the route. You have ACC with 900 seating capacity and it's not being filled in weekdays why to add a premium train in the same direction.

Revision in Timings, CBE-BNC VB now departs at 07:25 A.M instead of current 05:00 A.M departure.

Yes, that needs to be checked if it could negotiate the sharp curves and ghats in that route.

With that previous stmt Arun bro had mentioned, even I agree to his point... the only thing to be done is 2 things:-

1. Perform 'n' number of trial runs and check the speed it can travel (with pax and without pax) (something like how metros do the trial when standing at a bridge with sacks of cement like how it happened for Namma Metro where girder was placed right above the Banaswadi-Hosur single line for testing purpose {{Link for reference:- click here }} )

Also, swapping any kind of trains is not that easy, I feel. I don't know if that happened before in the history of IR. Extension seems like a safe bet.

Route has not been swapped for two trains afaik but, yes many trains have had changed of its route, best example is 16339/40. IMO, Vande Bharat, which is intended for a high speed rail connectivity, can take up the faster route. Whereas DD/Uday can take proper intercity connectivity irrespective of the route for it having such a coach composition.

I agree, VB could've been planned better. At this point in terms of speed, it is just a regular train and not a premium one.
