All General Coaches of this train have been moved to the last side of this train when traveling from Visakhapatnam to Tatanagar. This has caused a lot of confusion among passengers traveling by General Coaches. When this train is about to arrive, passengers are unable to know whether General Coaches will be in the front side or at the last side. Even the station staff are unable to provide accurate information regarding this matter on the spot. There are several stoppages of this train, where the platform length is short and unable to accommodate the full train. In such cases, all General Coaches remain out of platform. So, those passengers who know the placement of General Coaches are also unable to climb into them. Hence all passengers taking General tickets are compelled to travel in the Sleeper Coaches. General coaches should be at both ends of the trains and their number...

Yesterday this train was having 200+ berths vacant in 3AC class. And as usual delayed by +3 hrs. This train demand is decreasing due to delay, and day time scheduled run. Why no one is accountable, and not taking any action.

You mean to say that this train should be taken by SER. You are absolutely right, but for current situation this TT is fine I think, simply if departing it with extra time can help this train to recover some delays. Well I am also planning a TT of 20816 as well. I will share its link on this post.
VSKP - TATA Express is running behind BBN - TATA Passenger and TATA - VSKP Express is running behind TATA - GUA MEMU Passenger. At least TATA - VSKP Express should leave TATA before TATA - GUA MEMU Passenger, if it cannot reach TATA before BBN - TATA Passenger.

In the return direction 13352-Allp-Dhn and 18190 ERS-Tata almost run one behind the other right from ERS till ROU with just 2 hrs difference....I think they can try the same in onward direction as well. Old TT of Tata-Allp, it used to reach Rourkela at 18:15. DHN-Allp is reaching around 7:45pm. There is a diff of 1.5 hrs. No harm in trying this option.
Well do check my imaginary trains of vskp tata with improved TT.
Earlier there is such TT. But ECoR spoiled by allowing at day time. Hope they change it back. Today's trains also from vskp delayed 3 hrs.

No one is updating the photos. All photos are of the old ICF Coaches. This train has been running with modern LHB coaches since 14 August 2022. Please post recent photos.

This may not be preferred train for people from TATA to RKSN and then from CTC to VSKP, because they have many other options. But for people from RKSN - CBSA - DPS - BSPX - KDJR - HCNR - JKPR - CTC belt have no other options. This train is the only option these people have. So, for these people, travelling by this train is compulsion.
Today, Booking Status for date - 05/05/2024 in this train from VSKP to TATA are - SL - WL54, 3E - WL9, 3A - WL27,...

No problem regarding demand. But What about punctuality? From more than an year this train is facing the problem of timing and people will not prefer to travel end to end, first of all day time travel, second delay, due to which odd time arrivals happen.
Rescheduled trains generally go vacant upto some extent, just have to check on the day of departure
We railfans or members of this forum need to understand that we form a very small community in numbers to travelling public members ratio and members may not be travelling in all trains from the region.
Delay occurs with this train because it's time table is wrong. Many sections are there where trains have maximum speed limits. But in order to make it qualify as superfast train and in order to levy superfast surcharge, speed of this train has forcibly been kept more than the maximum speed limits in those sections. So delay has to occur. Remove superfast tag and let this train arrive Tata around 9:30 am with same departure time of 3:30 pm from VSKP. Then see how timely it will run. I had told earlier also that this train used to run timely before getting converted into superfast, because at that time the time table was made correctly.
