Useful
Bengaluru Coimbatore VB and Uday had very good occupancy today though weekday and long holiday weekend starts from tomorrow afternoon. As the dep time is 1415 IT professional or working class may not prefer aa they need to start from workplace by 1200 or 1300. Irony is both of leave at the same time and arrive at same time with different fare structure and Comfort. VB doesn't have advantage of IT corridor localities while Uday has stoppage at KR Puram gateway to East IT corridor. Next need to check the current availability from BNC to Hosur to ascertain who are the prime patronage provider.

Can the new platforms at BNC accommodate 22 coaches and trains? Did that also imply that? What about trains with such a short turnaround time? Intercity, Brindavan, Lalbagh, etc. should be shifted here.
