Even I was not in favour of introducing VB in JBP-BPL section but it has been introduced now, what to do.
There are only 2 options left either change the TT or departure from both ends or simply cancel it.
I...
more... know for VB there is not much end to end demand that's why I have came with that TT so that it can get collectively good occupancy to JBP MYR STA and REWA.
And regarding competition with ICE, it can be extended to Mandla Fort by giving LR at MML, wese bhi late aati h to maximum passengers MML pe hi deboard kr lete h, ADTL tak to mushkil se 20-30 passengers bachte h to better h usko Mandla tak extend krde taaki NIR MFR walo ko Bhopal ka direct connection mil jaye usse JBP ki dependency ICE pe thodi Kam hogi and they can use VB better, cz I have seen ki passengers mil sakte hai VB ko lekin kyoki economical options avlbl h isiliye koi le nhi rha otherwise jab mne travel Kiya h VB me to full hi thi.
