Associated Vintage increases the value
It's running with this type of Coach arrangement (AC Coaches in the middle) since at least 2002.
I remember because that's when I first traveled in it as a toddler.
No onein AC had any issues back then with Sleeper Class Passengers going from one end to the other.
Almost...
more... no other train had this kind of coach arrangement back then.
Vande Bharat was introduced in 2019
There's a reason why trains like Sampoorna Kranti, Shram Shakti, Shiv Ganga, Prayagraj, Tamil Nadu, Poorva, Telangana etc are put on a different pedestal than other Superfast trains despite themselves being Normal Superfast Trains themselves.
