Hwh_Gaya VB is a 5-hour ride but now it's 6 hours. Even Rajdhani does Hwh to Ddu in under 8 hours, so why not have Hwh_Ddu VB? Also, it would've been better if they ran it in reverse, like in the morning from Ddu to skip Shatabdi.

Instead of that DGHR-BSBS train, a JSME-BSB train through MDP, DHN, and GAYA woulda been way better. Have you checked the schedule for the DGHR-BSBS train? It's crazy! HWH-BSB train woulda been a way better option than the HWH-GAYA train. It coulda filled up 16 coaches. I'm thinking the HWH-GAYA train will get less riders at least till DHN 'cause that 12019 train is gonna take a lot of folks, especially when the newness of the train wears off. The schedule of 12019/12020 is spot on between HWH-DHN, and the GAYA train is probably gonna struggle since it runs after that. HWH-DHN shoulda been done in 3 hours. The old HWH-NDLS Duronto did it in 2 hours 45 minutes with slower coaches. The VB coach with better speed and faster take-off should do way better...

Kya yaar, ye proposed TT HWH Gaya HWH VB waala kuch purana cancelled Double Decker AC jaise nahi lag raha? Wo toh bahut hi kam logon se bharta tha. Mujhe lagta hai VB ka bhi wahi haal hoga jab tak ye Patna ya Varanasi tak na jaye. Coalfield type intercity train ki zarurat thi HWH Gaya ke beech aur NR/NER se Varanasi se Howrah ke liye.
