The funny thing is the Ernakulam - Bangalore ICE takes 2 minutes lesser than this train on the CBE-BNC route. So, a passenger on that train will pay less, will board at more convenient timings and still reach in the same duration as this VB.
I assume the speed of this VB has something to do with the mps of the section being limited. But that doesn't excuse it. The GKP-LKO VB runs via an even lower mps section and yet, is faster. Plus, the timings of this VB is atrocious. It...

please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, check this out - the Ernakulam to Bangalore ICE train be 2 minutes quicker than this train from Coimbatore to Bangalore. So, homie riding that train gonna pay less, catch a better schedule, and still arrive at the same time as this VB train.
I'm thinking the speed of this VB train be slowed down by some speed limits on the route. But that ain't no excuse. The Gorakhpur to Lucknow VB train be running through an even slower zone and still be faster. And let's not even start with the messed up timings of this VB train. It should kick off at 0600 hrs instead of its current time.
