Very worst time management in Vande Bharat Nellai on 23 Dec 2023 travel from Chennai to Nellai.
Till Madurai it was running behind Vaigai express and stopped in 3 non stop stations and delay was by 51 minutes till Madurai
It waited for Vaigai express to cross the next station and waited in Parikkal , Sholavandan etc and ultimately delaying the time for reaching Tirunelveli destination by 30 minutes
The

worst part is Vaigai express for which VB was waiting in above stations reached Madurai earlier by 15 minutes ahead of scheduled time
It is illogical if premium train like VB has to wait for Vaigai resulting in Vaigai reaching earlier in time and VB getting delayed in all stations starting from Trichy, Madurai and finally Nellai.
VB actual status and Vaigai express actual status as below attached images
If Southern railway is going to treat VB in this manner, people will seriously rethink travelling to MDU in VB

No , not possible. VB should be as it is with TEN maintanence and Tejas at MS maintanence ! Chennai does not have enough transportation from west and north to reach MS at morning.

Tejas should start at 06:30 AM from MS and reach TEN at 14:30 PM and in return should start TEN at 15:20 PM to reach MS at 23:20 PM

VB should remain the same. Extending Tejas to TEN will surely increase the patronage

Extentions not needed and present pattern should be kept as it is. Tejas can have a delay dep at 615 and Return from Madurai at 1545 to arrive at 2200. 80% of the train will run empty for 160km which is not required and it will return to Chennai very late and is not desirable. During weekdays and off seasons the occupancy will be even less after Madurai.

ACCC premium train occupancy can only be estimated after observing Current Availability after first chart preparation.. this is not the correct way to estimate the occupancy ...
