Sorry for late post.

From past 4 months I have been doing weekly up down between Bhopal and Jabalpur due to office work. I have done numerous journeys in almost every suitable dedicated train between BPL and JBP, be it ADTL Intercity, Janshatabdi but mainly in 22191 INDB-JBP Overnight and 12192 JBP-NZM Shridham.

7th December 2023, I got the oppurtunity to travel the only Premium train of this section, newly introduced and extended 20174 REWA-RKMP Vande Bharat Express. With this I have covered all 3 VB of Madhya Pradesh.
That week almost all other trains between Jabalpur and Bhopal were either cancelled or diverted due to 3rd line work in Barkhera-Budni.

It was a bit rainy morning, when I reached station, the train was slightly late but likely to cover up due to slack and it did. There were so many passengers waiting for VB to arrive. VB arrived on time and it was almost 50% filled from previous station. decent number of passengers got down at JBP and then it got completely packed, I got a Window seat but bad-luck only 20% window was there along my seat.

Nevertheless I started recording video for my YT channel and noted down key points. Immidietly the water bottle was served and off we go.

Coming to catering, the breakfast was Ok, we got Upma, Thepla, Aloo Sabji, Curd, Tea and Muffin. Upma was tasteless but warm but Aloo Sabji and Thepla were lipsmacking, it was loaded from Satna. Lunch was served immediately after departing from Narmadapuram, its taste was also Okaish but as good as Breakfast.

Coming to its run, this train has ample amount of slack, we have reached Itarsi outer 10 minutes before and made entry on platform exactly on time. After that due to 3rd line work in ghat we made 3-4 unscheduled halt near Midghat but still it reached RKMP on time. This VB only picked 130 kmph after Barkhera.

In my opinion this train can get speedup of 30 minutes. There is no need of 10 minutes halt at ET it can be reduced to 5 when there is no Loco Change as of now Crew from JBP goes till RKMP and LPs has to go from 1 cab to other thats why its taking time but that can be changed as REWA-JBP and JBP-ET by JBP Crew and ET-RKMP by ET/BPL Crew, also JBP halt can be reduced to 5 minutes as well.

Overall it was a great journey, could've been much better if speed is more and if I would've got proper window seat. Cleaniness and Security in this train is excellent. REWA CDO is maintaining it good.

Please enjoy the journey I described above in detail on my channel.
Suggestions are welcomed.

You'll find my response on YouTube.
The entire saga is about control by Crew.
Firozpur Division is handling entire run of SVDK NDLS Vande Bharat (morning from SVDK).
Delhi division gets to handle Amritsar Vande Bharat

NR has retained control of Ayodhya Vande Bharat.
Ajmer and Jaipur Divisions were already fighting about Delhi Cantt Vande Bharat.
There's no chance in hell about Jabalpur Division giving even slightest of control to Bhopal Division, their Union would eat them up.

WCR is already doing this with all trains having reversal at ET, with fresh loco they provide fresh LP set at ET.
This was exception as previously it was going till JBP only that's why end to end crew was working.

Its not only about saving 5 minutes but collectively reducing time.

Agree
I agree.
I talked to 1 of the Senior LP at RKMP, he was taking the road learning of RKMP-ET section as he never operated train here. I am talking about the time when this VB was plying till JBP only.
He also told me the same ki BPL Crew is already running RKMP-NZM VB that's why JBP div got hold on this one.
