On the contrary, it was speeded up by some minutes so that it doesn't conflict with the VB. If IR wants to do something, atleast run this VB in reverse direction. That would mean it would complement the Rajya Rani, not be in competition with it.

Funny thing is that they could have just added 6 or so AC coaches to Rajya Rani and called it a day; if they so really wanted folks to have AC travel here. No need to run a separate train and waste more fuel.

Monoplegias are quite rare themselves, moreover he is an adult, I haven't come across any adult case personally. And strokes are one of the most common cases in the ER.

If someone has been taken in for a stroke, that too for 10 days, I'm pretty much sure that person can't sit all day typing replies laden with propagandas and coming up with his own blog posts on random topics, daily.

Express and Nauchandi Express on the same route. Though a semi-high-speed train, it takes over 7 hours to complete the journey between Meerut and Lucknow. The extension to Varanasi aims to increase passenger count, especially for those traveling between Lucknow and Varanasi. With the addition of the Vande Bharat Express, the current options like shuttle trains and other trains like the Bareilly Varanasi Express will offer more choices and potentially increase the occupancy of the Vande Bharat Express to 80-90%.

Is wajah se, yaatri is route par chalne wali Rajya Rani Express aur Nauchandi Express ko zyada pasand kar rahe hain. Halanki ye semi-high-speed train hai, lekin Meerut se Lucknow tak pahunchne mein 7 ghante se zyada time lagta hai. Varanasi tak route extend karne ka maqsad hai ki passengers ki number badhe, khass kar Lucknow aur Varanasi ke beech jaane walon ke liye. Vande Bharat Express aane ke baad, abhi chalne wali shuttle train aur Bareilly Varanasi Express jaise trains se yaatriyon ko zyada options milenge aur isse Vande Bharat Express ki occupancy 80-90% tak ja sakti hai.

6:35 AM and reaching Charbagh station at 1:45 PM. The return journey departs from Charbagh at 2:45 PM and reaches Meerut at 10:00 PM. The train currently has an average occupancy of 60-65%, with passengers preferring the State Rani Express and Nauchandi due to the higher ticket price of the Vande Bharat. The railway is exploring the feasibility of extending the train to Varanasi. There are existing shuttle trains and other trains connecting Lucknow to Varanasi, including the Bareilly Varanasi Express. The Vande Bharat Express has vacant seats, while the State Rani and Nauchandi trains are experiencing waiting lists. On September 15th, 16th, and 18th, the Vande Bharat Express (train number 22489) had 281, 289, and 360 vacant seats in the chair car, and 30, 18, and 26 vacant seats in the executive class, which costs Rs. 2365. The State Rani Express (train number 22453) had 35 waiting list passengers across its chair car and AC classes. The Nauchandi Express had waiting lists for all classes for the next three days. The Daily Passenger Association President, S.S Uppal, suggests extending the Vande Bharat to Prayagraj instead of Varanasi for the benefit of people traveling to the Allahabad High Court. He recommends a schedule that accommodates those commuting to the High Court.
