I agree with you. Varanasi - Patna - Kolkata Vande Bharat & Varanasi - Gaya - Kolkata Vande Bharat routes would have made more sense as they connect major cities and tourism spots. This would have also provided a faster and comfortable travel option for passengers. The authorities should definitely consider this for future train routes.
