I took VB from Agra to RKMP on March 21 (wanted Shatabdi but it was wait listed in executive class). The VB was late by 3 hours and had to run behind Mumbai Rajdhani all the way. So, 6 hour journey turned to 9 hours and the problem was technical.
It is possible that VB rake limits the option to an alternative loco unlike regular LHB rake. I was also VERY disappointed with dirty lavatories in both, E1 and E2. I would have assumed it to be clean at its first stop...

Traveled by this train on March 20 (NZM to AGC). E1 and E2 were practically empty.
Two days later, traveled to from Agra to Bhopal... Shatabdi (my preferred choice) had WL1 in Executive class, but easily available in the VB and it was 30-40% occupied (and reached RKMP 3-hours late).

I could not get tickets on BPL Shatabdi (March 20) in Executive Class to Agra, so booked this VB (E1 and E2 had plenty of seats open). Similar story when I took RKMP VB from Agra... BPL Shatabdi had wait list (exec class) and VB was 30-40% occupied in E1/E2.

mr.train_wala~ 3421 blog postsIndore Nagpur Vande Bharat and Nagpur Bilaspur Vande Bharat should have RSA with each other and both trains should have a lay-over of 45 minutes at Nagpur. This will allow VB-VB connections from BSP/R/INDB to BPL/UJN/INDB.
Both rakes can be allotted to SECR, PM at Bilaspur and SM at Indore

This has two issues:
1- requires speeding up of IND-NGP segment
2- VB trains, IMO, are already suffering with lack of maintenance (especially cleaning part). Extending the run of a rake will likely make it worse.

Sped up on paper, but does it ever translate to reality? That Gondia to Rajnandgaon stretch is way too optimistic.

MailguardSG25~ 24054 blog postsWhat is the benefit of terminating few trains at Dadar instead of CSMT? Especially this train is often terminated at Dadar in the morning but taken to Wadi Bunder & in evening departs from CSMT itself. What is the benefit? Any CR specialist pls reply .
Early termination is likely due to late arrivals which makes access to empty platforms unlikely, adding to further delays in getting rake to the yard and prepping it for return. For example, if the rake were to continue, it would take another 20 minutes to get there, possibly have to wait 10-15 minutes before a platform becomes available, then 15-20 minutes to take the rake back to yard (another 10 minutes or so). This adds almost an hour before the rake is in the yard which could affect return departure.
