Newly launched *SIXTEEN COACH* Nagercoil - Chennai VB (20628) has already gone into 100+ WL for the next couple of weekends!

Here's a crazy idea, is there a possibility of a third VB running on the route?
Could be the first route to boast of a Triple VB.

IMO the other route that IR can blindly thrust a third VB into running and still be successful is Mumbai- Ahmedabad.

Any other route that can pull this off?
