VB is meant to destroy other trains but Trains like Shiv Ganga is meant to accommodate every other trains onto the tracks!
But the Duration difference 😁
Imagine the number of Slowdowns and minutes lost in this VB process.
We are the losers who now want to pay extra fare.
Please save regular trains from Vande Bharat trains🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nine Sleeper Vande Bharat trains that Tamil Nadu desperately needs:
* MAS – NDLS (Chennai Central – New Delhi)
* MAS – CSMT (Chennai Central – Mumbai)
* MAS – HWH (Chennai Central – Howrah)
* MS – TVC via MDU (Chennai Egmore – Thiruvananthapuram via Madurai)
* MS – TSI (Chennai Egmore – Tenkasi)
* MS – TN (Chennai Egmore – Tuticorin)
* TN – SBC (Tuticorin – Bengaluru)
* MS – RMM (Chennai Egmore – Rameswaram)
* MAS – SC (Chennai Central – Secunderabad)
These nine Sleeper Vande Bharats could be gamechangers for Tamil Nadu. They would address the chronic capacity crunch and provide much-needed relief on some of the most perpetually waitlisted railway routes.
It's time Indian Railways gave serious consideration to these routes.

when a route has ample options, when the rake deployed has yet not entered in mass production
speed should be the priority
Compare the timetable and speed of first three VBs and first three VBSL

difference between shiv ganga & vande bharat SL express from new Delhi to varanasi 35 minutes. Legendary shiv ganga always top notch ❤️🎉

🚨 JTET ASPIRANTS MISS EXAM DUE TO RAILWAY DELAY!
Chaos erupted at Asansol as JTET aspirants blocked the 18182 Thawe–Tatanagar Express, which was reportedly running 4 HOURS LATE.
Several students missed their JTET examination as the train had still not reached Tatanagar (Jamshedpur).
💔 The First Shift-1 reporting window was 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Imagine preparing for an exam for months, only to miss it because of a massive train delay!
Who will take responsibility for the students' lost opportunity?
📢 Authorities must intervene and ensure affected candidates get justice.

Average speed 60-70 kmph ! Mostly delayed! Over priced ! Overhyped !
As a Railway Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw must be asking every party member & representative to justify the demands of Extension/Stoppages
He chose to nod his head to every demand raised by anyone without considering Efficiency, Purpose of trains.
This lead to the Fall of railways.

🚆 With TBM–TPJ Intercity becoming Superfast from Jan 1, 2027, will the SF express features pushback seats?
90° upright seats with poor back support make long journeys uncomfortable.
We deserve proper reclining seats, especially when paying a higher fare.
@DRMTPJ @GMSRailway
🚨 UPDATE FOR MAINLINE USERS 🚨
🚆 From Jan 1, 2027, Mainline Intercity & Boat Mail become Superfast Express!
16807→ 22635 TBM–TPJ
16808→ 22636 TPJ–TBM
16751 → 20611 MS–RMM

But the stoppage addition happens at MPS....

Halt reduction or removal is something which will never happen. Excess/political halts have impacted VBs and Rajdhanis. Ab toh train hi divert kardete hai
atleast till an avg MLA/MP only achievement is that he/she has got halt of xyz train which 95% of her voters won't use
🚂Stoppage Removal Alert! 🛑
Indian Railways is shifting gears with a new "Dynamic Halt" policy to slash travel times.
Here’s the deal: if a station doesn't meet the "5% Rule," the train won't be stopping there anymore.
📍 The "5% Rule" Explained
Railways will automatically remove stoppages at stations where:
❌ Average daily bookings are less than 5% of available seats.
❌ The data is tracked over a rolling 180-day period.
⚡ Why the change?
The goal is simple: Speed. By cutting underutilized halts, Mail and Express trains can maintain higher average speeds and improve punctuality across the network.
Will your station get into this list? 👇

🚨4 HOURS 23 MINUTES LATE! AND IT’S CALLED “SUPERFAST”?! 🤡🚆
22894 Howrah–Sainagar Shirdi Superfast Express is running 4 hours 23 minutes late at Tatanagar!
@RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji, How long must passengers suffer? If trains on the Howrah–Mumbai Main Line have been running late for 4 years, WHY are passengers still paying Superfast charges? 💸
⚠️ ABOLISH SUPERFAST CHARGES until the promised speed and punctuality are delivered!
