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.

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.

August se chal rahi hai, Meerut se subah 6:35 AM par nikalti hai aur dopahar 1:45 PM par Charbagh station par pahunchti hai. Wapas mein, Charbagh se dopahar 2:45 PM par nikalti hai aur raat 10:00 PM par Meerut pahunchti hai. Is train mein average 60-65% seats khali rehti hain, kyuki yaatri State Rani Express aur Nauchandi ko zyada pasand kar rahe hain, Vande Bharat ke ticket ke price zyada hone ki wajah se. Railway is train ko Varanasi tak badhaane ki feasibility check kar rahi hai. Lucknow se Varanasi ke liye pahle se shuttle trains aur Bareilly Varanasi Express jaisi trains hain. Vande Bharat mein seats khali hain, lekin State Rani aur Nauchandi mein waiting list hai. 15th, 16th, aur 18th September ko, Vande Bharat Express (train number 22489) mein chair car mein 281, 289, aur 360 seats khali the, aur executive class mein 30, 18, aur 26 seats khali the, jiska fare Rs. 2365 hai.

The Vande Bharat Express running between Meerut and Lucknow is proving to be a loss-making venture for the Indian Railways. The train is facing a lack of passengers, with 65-70% of seats remaining empty on both directions. Despite having a seating capacity of 530, the train has only managed to attract...

a little over 825 passengers so far. To address this, the Railways are considering extending the route of the Meerut-Lucknow Vande Bharat Express to Varanasi. Officials believe this extension would increase passenger numbers and improve the train's performance. This strategy was previously successful in the case of the Gorakhpur-Lucknow Vande Bharat, which saw increased ridership after its route was extended to Prayagraj. The Vande Bharat Express is the fastest train on the Meerut-Lucknow route, taking only 7 hours compared to the 8:25 hours of Rajya Rani Express and 9:30 hours of Nauchandi Express. The train departs from Lucknow Charbagh at 2:45 PM and reaches Meerut at 9:55 PM daily. The return journey starts from Meerut at 6:35 AM and reaches Lucknow at 1:00 PM. The train operates six days a week, except on Tuesdays, making stops at Moradabad and Bareilly during both journeys. Senior DCM of North Railway, Rajnish Tiwari, highlighted the potential benefit of extending the Vande Bharat Express to Varanasi, especially during festivals. He believes it would provide passengers with greater convenience and make the train more viable.

Meerut aur Lucknow ke beech chalne wali Vande Bharat Express, Indian Railways ke liye ghatte ka souda saabit ho rahi hai. Train mein safar karne wale musafiriyon ka akal hai. Dono taraf se 65 se 70% seats khali rah rahi hain. 530 yaatriyon ki is semi high speed train Vande Bharat...

mein baithne ki kshamata hai, lekin ab tak kul milakar 825 se kuchh zyada yaatri Vande Bharat train ko mile hain. Railways ko train mein sawari na milne ki fikr sata rahi hai, isliye ab ek nayi yojna banai ja rahi hai. Is plan ke tahat Meerut se Lucknow aane wali Vande Bharat Express ko Banaras tak chalane ka prastav taiyaar kiya gaya hai. Railways ke zimmedar batate hain ki puri ummid hai ki iski anumati mil jaayegi. Iske baad filhaal Meerut se Lucknow aane wali Vande Bharat Express aane wale dino mein Banaras tak jaayegi. Isse sawariyon ki sankhya nishchit tour par badhegi aur Vande Bharat Express bhi achchi chalne lagegi. Bata dein ki isse pehle Gorakhpur se Lucknow ke beech sanchalit hone wali Vande Bharat Express bhi yaatriyon ki kami se shuruati dino mein jhujh rahi thi. Ise dhyaan mein rakhkar railway prashasan ne Gorakhpur se Ayodhya hote hue Lucknow aane wali Vande Bharat ki duri badha di. Iska Prayagraj tak ke liye sanchaln shuru kar diya, jiske baad yeh train bhar kar chalne lagi. Ab Meerut Lucknow ki Vande Bharat train ko bhi isi tarah par Banaras tak chalane ki taiyaari hai. Meerut-Lucknow route par ab sabse tez chalne wali train Vande Bharat Express hai. Meerut City se Lucknow Rajya Rani Express se Vande Bharat 1 ghanta 25 minute aur Nauchandi Express se kareeb dhai ghanta pehle pahunchati hai. Rajya Rani Express Meerut se Lucknow tak ka safar tay karne mein aamtaur par 8:25 ghanta ka samay leti hai to Nauchandi Express yeh duri 9:30 ghanta mein puri karti hai. Vande Bharat Express Meerut se Lucknow pahunchne mein sirf 7 ghanta hi lagati hai. Lucknow-Meerut Vande Bharat Express Lucknow ke Charbagh station se har din dopahar 2:45 baje rawana hoti hai aur raat 9:55 baje Meerut pahunchti hai. Meerut se yeh subah 6:35 baje khulkar dopahar ek baje Lucknow pahunchti hai. Meerut se Lucknow ke beech chalne wali Vande Bharat Express ka sanchaln hafte mein chhe din hota hai. Mangalvaar ko train ka parichalan nahi hota hai. Aate-jaate waqt Lucknow-Meerut Vande Bharat Moradabad aur Bareli mein thaharti hai. Uttar Railway ke Senior DCM Rajnish Tiwari batate hain ki Varanasi jile ke beech sanchalit Vande Bharat train mein 20 coach ho jaane se tyoharon ke dauraan yaatriyon ko aavagaman mein kaafi aasani hogi. Iske alawa Meerut se Lucknow ke beech jo Vande Bharat train chal rahi hai use Banaras tak chalane par manthan ho raha hai. Ummeed hai ki jaldi hi is par nirnay ho jaayega. Iske baad yeh train Meerut se chalkar Lucknow hote hue Banaras tak jaayegi. Isse bhi yaatriyon ko badi suvidha milegi.

Yes 1st charting always shows lots of empty seats, but I have seen a very good number of passengers getting deboard and board at RKMP in REWA VB.
So its obvious that many of them have booked in Current Booking or onboard from TTE.
Although to point out that REWA doesn't provide good number of passengers to it due to its rather inconvenient timings, most takers are from Satna and Jabalpur. That's why I though that instead of REWA it can go upto PRYJ to fetch more number of passengers as
