Following announcement of 296 km GKP ⇌ LKO Vande Bharat via AY,
we have mixed response from rail enthusiasts.
Few wanted it to be till PRYJ (as per old news rumors) whereas some were against the alphabet 'C' shaped route. Since it was made to restricted till LKO, few suggested to extend it to CNB. there were other suggestions as well.

But

Layover of 9 hrs is not at all appreciated.

It would be good if the premium Vande Bharat is used optimally between the best possible destinations so that it not only earns revenue for IR but reduces crowd on the other trains.

Henceforth, I would like to suggest GKP ⇌ AF VB via LKO - CNB. (≈596km) PFA

There are limited trains for GKP ⇌ Agra and though LKO/CNB have trains for Agra but those are mostly long distance hence getting last minute tickets is difficult. Even so Tundla acts as transit point for Agra but it pain to travel road until you dont have your own vehicle.
Agra is a major tourist center of the country.

x-----x-----x-----x-----x

I am not against the idea of giving VB to Ayodhya but passengers from Lucknow & Gorakhpur prefer to travel distance of ≈150km to Ayodhya by car especially the ones who are having good purchasing power who are considered as target audience of proposed VB.

Alternatively, there can be Delhi ⇌ Ayodhya Vande Bharat which would be the fastest connectivity until Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport is operational. It is more or likely to get good patronage from Delhi. PFA. As 12004/03 remains packed throughout reason, hence they would have alternate option too.

Thank you ! suggestions welcomed.

I am eager to share more Vande Bharat route suggestions.

This way (whether we like or not), majority of the blogs on this community/forum makes NO sense.
Rail Enthusiasts are here for their hobby and put their thoughts and opinions irrespective IR decisions, liking, financials, making sense or not.

This blog was posted even before GKP ⇌ LKO VB was inaugurated. So, lot of discussions happened before and after within a time span

of 5-6 months.

PS : Though this eXtension is announced but yet to be executed.
There a lot of eXtension(s) which have NOT executed even after announcement(s). #eXtensionPending

Last but not the least, there is another train talked about in this blog.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
