Just look at the regular running of this train in both directions... There is a considerable scope to bring down the Running time to 8:30 hrs flat in existing route.
So with a 8 Car VB rake, SR should positively consider running this service with regular no as under :
ERS...

Yes.. CBE BNC VB can be put on its reverse path as ERS VB will justify only on this TT
For some reason have observed for that for all trains , SWR gives huge slack from KJM till SBC. There has not been a single day when this train has reached KJM at its scheduled time of 21hrs. It has always been between 21.30-21.40 hrs. I guess its impossible to cover SA-KJM within 3 hrs. Heard that 130km/hr trail has been done. Only formal approval is pending. Hopefully all trains with LHB and VB's should save some time when that is done.
Yes ..Agreed 100%
May be if they can shift 30 mins of slack to SA - KJM (considering it runs almost 30 -40 mins BT in every run totalling before arrivals at PGT, PTJ, TUP, and ED), then automatically KJM BNC last leg can be brought down by 35-40 odd mins, thereby Total run time will be 8 hrs 35 mins and thats all we wanted for daily run. As such there is no compromise on SA KJM run TT ...3 hrs TT should be fair enough for VB priority trains

From the initial feedback it seems that passengers are relatively ok with the ERS-BNC schedule. With KJM also as a halt, somehow this seems to be ok with passengers.
Its only the reverse TT BNC to ERS where the early departure is slightly a challenge. But I guess with this TT it is impossible to run daily with one single rake.
Having said that ,couple of days back, train from BNC was jampacked probably because of the long holidays. Lots of passengers for SA, PTJ, PGT & beyond and it was also observed...

I was tracking run if few trains to gauge the required run time between SA ans BNC
20644 CBE VB takes an avg 76 mins to cover SA - JTJC (116 kms)
20607 MYS VB takes an avg of 100 mins to cover JTJ - BNC (142 kms)
