SWR got allotted a brand new 8 Car Vande Bharat rake from ICF Yesterday!
Which route it is going to serve?
BENGALURU - MADURAI VB will be taken care of by SR via Trichy(Most likely) Hence the Possibilities are High, here's my list,
1. Bengaluru-Mangaluru(Electrification is going on)
2.
...
more...
Bengaluru-Vijayawada via KPD, RU (Based on news articles)
3. Bengaluruu-Puducherry (As per SWR's feasibility study)
4. Additional Karnataka Connectivity VB(From BLR/UBL to HPT, SMET, BIDAR)
5. Usual surprise from railways as always(Reverse/Unusual routes)

We can see SBC-TPTY in feasibility list and like you said, it won't be good for such a short distance. Hence Vijayawada seems likely, need to check if it's operationally feasible.

ERS, MDU - SBC VB will be from SR side as those rakes were already dispatched to respective divisions. Hence we can rule out those options.
Let's see how this is going to pan out?

Hopefully, we can expect those as summer special vbs very soon.
It would be even more good if it's a full fledged regular service.

With price increase, I agree. Regardless, some of the vb specials are doing good in SR like MS-NCJ VB. Like you said, prime routes should be considered without experimenting it.

Exactly, bus travel time is just 4 hrs and it is available every 10 mins.

SR should restore the Tambaram-Tiruvannamalai daytime train as a express with 4hr TT in order to provide proper, better travel option.
Look at the Arrival and departure timings, nothing to say.

This train literally needs to be made as a daily train ASAP. In fact, it was a daily train in MG period.
It enjoys good patronage throughout the years, even though the TT is very slow. With Extra summer rush, several ICF rakes in hand and 90% of the route is having 110 MPS, SR is waiting for what? Literally losing good amount of revenue.

Public transport must be very much available.
Bus fare would also be nominal and you don't need to worry about that except for Auto's/rickshaws.
Tagging appropriate person for exact details.

Looks like rakes are being transferred to the respective divisions.
Let's hope for the best. Nothing is final until we see the RB's order copy and about the maintenance, it is already in place, need not to worry about that.

Until the poll results are out, they can't do anything unless it was notified before election announcement.
But, with RB's approval, zonal railway can operate VB special services anyday.

Officially, it is one of the slowest VB, having SF category average speed.
Like you said, avg speed is very much important and it should at least have 68+ avg IMO(for max 7 hr travel skipping TPJ). If it involves TPJ, we need TEN-MS kind of priority and avg speed.
