When purchasing or booking tickets for a premium train, you likely expect to reach your destination faster and witness your train overtaking OTHER trains along the route.

However, you may be in for a significant surprise when, you sitting in a long-distance, 22-coacher premium train find your train being overtaken by a smaller, 8-coacher trainset.

trainset would have departed from the same station nearly 1.5 hours after your train, yet is scheduled to arrive at the next station almost 1 hour before your train.

And yes, I'm talking about Rajdhani Express getting overtaken by Vande Bharat.

TVC Rajdhani departs TVC almost 1.5 hour before Mangaluru Vande Bharat but yet the Rajdhani gets overtaken by the Vande Bharat somewhere in the route and the Rajdhani reaches Kozhikode - 1 hour AFTER the Vande Bharat.

Isn't this funny? So what the conclusion is, you don't always get more after you pay more. Sometimes politics also gets to you!

P.S - I've no problem with Vande Bharat trains being operated but what I'm against is Vande Bharat being inaugurated in routes where there isn't much of a demand. You'll also see me appreciating a lot of Vande Bharat trains, when they're hit and have a good run.

But at the same time, it's sad to see the deteriorating conditions of older premium trains. More than 2 hours difference between Rajdhani and Vande Bharat in just 400 kilometres of run is laughable and kind of infuriating. Perhaps, the Rajdhani should get a speed-up.
