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.
Ecor proposal diya hai iska route via - SBPY - JSG-ROU pe divert karne ke liye.

Let Tatanagar division introduce Biweekly from Tata to Benguluru via Raipur Ballashah and SC. Vskp has enough of demand for tatanagar for dedicated train. The present Tata Yesvantpur weekly should also be diverted via Raipur SC.
Totally agreed. And should be categorized as SF instead of Mail/Exp. Because on this route most of the trains run as express and gets heavily delayed. Example:08840 running by 8+ hrs late.
How is this possible? This train is dedicated for HCNR, KDJR, BSPX, DPS and CBSA region. It was especially introduced for these areas in 2014 as special train and then for the benefit of the people of these areas, it was made permanent. Later another weekly TATA - VSKP Special Express was also introduced in this route which ran for few years. Also proposal was made in 2022 to make this train bi-weekly. At that time it was always running with 50% occupancy. Now when it is running with 100% occupancy, then suddenly how come talks about its route changing is arising?
Main discussion is not about route change, its about extension till hyderabad or a direct tata kollam train because of rsa, since railway is not able to manage its delay, always rescheduled by 3 hours.
