I simply wanted to know, why this 2nd VB started for same route?
Why this VB was not routed via GNT? Even those people also deserve this train. 2 trains on absolutely same route is not good enough. Same goes for BSB VB as well.

Already Tirupati VB is running to Guntur with morning departure both of them will clash in return. So routed via Warangal. There is traffic and being 8 coach the train is always full from the past 4 months.

Well this is the nice justification and the old vskp vb wouldn't be re-routed. As it was proposed first on the same route.

The first Vande Bharat was originally planned by SCR to run from SC to VJA via WL as it's 130kmph FEDL and then extend to Tirupati or Vskp after 130kmph. RS MP of BJP from Vizag intrest has lobbied to make VJA Vskp 130kmph certified and in last minute alloted to ECOR to run from Vskp to SC. So SCR zonal authorities instead of operating the second VB to another destination they are more inclined to run reverse VB to Vskp and to ot some external political forced to pressed it after Kasargod TVM, Varanasi got reverse VB.

---

Whatever the reason, both VBs doing extremely well with occupancy unlike other VBs struggling to get occupancies. I learnt that there are some rumors even SCR are interested to run VB sleeper between SC and VSKP
