Definitely Bengaluru needs a VB. I thought we would get some importance since elections are coming up, but IR and BJP are a little more focused on Hubballi right now. No issues, same state only. Hope we also get something later.

Mysuru - Bengaluru - Chennai Vande Bharat will be a super duper hit. I can give it to you in writing, there's a huge demand for good premium trains even after 2 Shatabdis.

Nowadays the standard middle to upper-middle class traveller automatically chooses Shatabdi, mainly because trains that used to be clean and semi-premium before (like Lalbagh/Brindavan Express) have lost their charm.

This one (4th) was originally allocated to SWR/Bengaluru and the next one (5th) was allocated to SR/Chennai.

Now the 4th one has been diverted to NR, so I don't know if the rest will stay in south India or again be taken by NR. SR can lobby and get one, but SWR will most likely just get ignored.

this point I don't know which source to believe, but the main point is that the next VB should go to either SWR or SR. Hopefully SWR, but let's see.

If the train hits cattle, that doesn't mean there's a technical fault in the train :)
How does that even make sense?

Bearing issue is normal, nothing to be worried about and the fact that the first VB is still running so well should be appreciated by us.

Honestly true. Demands for a fast, dependable train from Bengaluru to Mumbai still go unheard. And now no train to Delhi via DMM KCG except the weekly Kongu.

SWR needs to radically work on both of these.

So this premium, luxurious terminal will receive the dirtiest and lowest priority trains from zones like NFR, ECR, SR and SER.

While SBC (which doesn't even have enough platform shelters) will take care of all the premium trains. Nice logic by SWR.
