I had this personal trip on 8th February 2024 to Bhopal. This train is from the south, and they have a hammer 🔨 for emergencies, haha. I took the Kerala Express on a Thursday night to Bhopal. I chose this train because I was able to get a side upper berth in the Shaan E Bhopal Express, even though there were 7 available seats in 2A at the time of booking. Many passengers boarded the train until Bhopal, especially from Agra and Mathura. My coach, A2, was almost full with people going to Bhopal or boarding from there. The maintenance of the train was just enough for basic survival, nothing too comfortable to travel all the way to Trivandrum. This was evident in the bookings for 2A, where there were barely 7-8 passengers traveling to Kerala in both coaches from New Delhi, with only 3 of them going till Trivandrum. Most of the bookings were from Bhopal and Agra. We had to wait for more than 20 minutes before reaching Mathura and Bina Junction. Clearly, this train doesn't have much priority. Despite leaving Bina Junction at 05:15 AM, we reached Bhopal Junction Outer at 06:20 AM without any stops. Karnataka Express was closely following us. The pantry car was practically non-existent. The vendors only served chicken/egg/vegetable biryani, and the water guy hardly came by. Luckily, I had bought everything from New Delhi before boarding.

Is train ko Ludhiana Junction tak extend kyun nahi kiya jaye Panipat aur Ambala ke halt ke saath? Industrial shahro ko jodenge. Ludhiana ko New Delhi se aur ek Madhyon Dopehri ka premium chunav milega. New Delhi rakes ko stable karne se chutkara milega. Timing, wapas jane par, automatically Der Raat ki Rukhsat ho jayegi New Delhi se Kanpur ki taraf. Logon ko ek ghante ke andar 3 premium seating trains ki jagah badhiya vikalp milega. Sab khud ke occupancy ko khate hain. Vande Bharat ya Tejas ki timing badal nahi sakte kyunki unki doori hai, lekin Kanpur Shatabdi ki timing aasani se badal sakti hai extend kiye gaye route ko samarthit karne ke liye.

Yo, this Vande Bharat Express is still the fastest in India, movin' at an average speed of 95 km/hr. It covered 759 kilometers in just 8 hours, man! It's got an advantage over the newly announced 22416 Banaras New Delhi Vande Bharat 'cause it covers 4 more kilometers and takes 5 minutes less. Check it out here: /train/216922/664/12892. This train is still the boss of the Vande Bharat Fleet, for now, at least. Maybe if they revise the timetable or change the terminal, the 22416 Banaras New Delhi Vande Bharat could compete, or even be faster. But for now... mad respect, dude. Now let's talk about the New Delhi Bhopal Route, it's slower with an average speed of 160 kmph for almost 200 kilometers. Lame.

अभी भी वंदे भारत एक्सप्रेस भारत का सबसे तेज़
औसत गति के हिसाब से 95 किमी/घंटे, 759 किलोमीटर 8 घंटों में आवेरेज गति।
इस ट्रेन को न्यूनतम 22416 बनारस नई दिल्ली वंदे भारत के मुकाबले फायदा हुआ, क्योंकि इस ने 4 किलोमीटर कम यात्रा करके 5 मिनट कम समय लगाया। /train/216922/664/12892
वंदे भारत फ्लीट के लिए अभी भी प्राथमिक सुप्रीमो है। 🙏🏻
समय सारिणी के संशोधन या स्थानांतरण से 22416 बनारस नई दिल्ली वंदे भारत को तेज बना सकता है, या कम से कम बराबर कर सकता है।
लेकिन अभी के लिए..... सर्वाधिक सम्मान 🫡
नई दिल्ली भोपाल रूट ......... कहा जा सकता है। 200 किलोमीटर के करीब 160 किमी/घंटे से कम औसत गति 😑
