VB trains are something our PM really wants to work, so they're gonna be on time for sure. But let's wait and see if they keep giving these trains priority even after the hype dies down. Whenever SECR gets trains from SER/CR, they're delayed by like 20-25 minutes, which could be fixed easily, but they let the delays pile up for hours. Back in the day, SECR was good enough to fix this, but not anymore. And don't even start with the freight issue, SECR has the ability to handle the loads. They just don't care about passenger trains and delay them on purpose. It's a joke, man.

VB trains PM ka pyaara project hain, toh obviously time par chalaye jayenge. Jab naya nahi lagega tab pata chalega ki kitne priority milti hain unhe.
Jaise hi trains SER/CR se SECR ko di jaati hain, 20-25 min ka delay hota hai, jise slack se easily compensate kiya jaa sakta hai, par train par ghanton ka delay lag jaata hai. Agar SECR competent hota, jaise ki kuch saal pehle tha, toh delay zero hota ya CR/SER tak hi hota. Instead, controlling ka actual tabahi hota hai!
Aur please freight ka issue mat uthao, SER hi zone nahi hai jo freight se bhara hua hai. Balki SECR ko infra handle karne ke liye already hai. SER ki zyadatar main route actually tripled aur ab quadrupled hone ja rahi hai. Asli wajah yeh hai ki SECR ke babus passenger trains ko importance nahi dete aur unhe delay karte hain jo unki marzi hai.

Yo, what's cool about Rajdhani Shatabdi?

Do ya feel Rajdhani is still cool like how it was in 70s-80s? When only HWH & BCT Raj ran? No diff paint, insane priority, dope food! It was a VIP service tappin richest places in India with capital!
But now? Well, Rajdhani and Shatabdi doing their thang keeping it real exclusive. Unlike these days where railways introducing new services every year that don't even last long!
VB's hype gonna disappear soon cuz they introducing new trains without even upgradin infrastructure...
