For the sake of improvement ..
People traveling in this train should file daily complaints and question authorities about the premium they are charging in the name of VB.

This train is slower than atleast 15 other normal mail express services on the same route between CSTM-NK.

meanwhile , Rajdhani and Shirdi VB takes around 2 hours 40 mins to cover CST Nashik distance .. this train is officially taking around 3 hours and 18 mins .. with a lot of normal mail ex trains scheduled to cover the same distance in lesser time..

why pay premium ? for below average service ??
IR and Railway board should be made answerable ... Rail yatris and organizations should raise this question ...

CSTM Jalna VB today occupancy at 1230
176 vacant seats
From Nashik 199 so 23+ have deboarded
From Aurangabad 410 seats available means they are only 60 travellers to Jalna 15% of train capacity.

Being Monday occupancy will be less wil have better occupancy from Thrusday to Saturday.

Jan Shatabdi leaves at 1210 and VB follows at 1310. and running time difference is just 15 mins.
The dep should be delayed to 1540 and speedup by 45 mins.

Trains 12785, 2786 are still having the old coaches instead of LHB despite being the one of the most demanded and crowded trains in SCR and SWR.

And based on the posts which I have read regarding this transfer of coaches, the recent change from running this train using diesel locomotive to electric WAP7 locomotive will give a strong weightage to make the decision on changing the coaches to LHB.

The current coaches, including the Air conditioned ones are not at all well maintained and it has become a nightmare for the passengers to travel n such a demanding train.

Requesting to transfer the coaches to LHB for trains 12785 and 12786 ASAP for smoother and comforatble commute between Hyderabad (Kacheguda) to Mysore
