seems Vande Bharat is gonna meet the same fate as the other premium trains - make it political - 4hr 20 minutes for the LKO-GKP stretch - which Bihar Sampark Kranti routinely does in 4 hours or less. Similarly 3 hr 30 minutes for LKO-ALD which is at par with a Marudhar and other express trains.
Rather give a Jan shatabdi if demand exists - I dont see a GKP-PRYJ demand because of the long route. maybe its more like 2 legs of a train with demand between GKP-LKO and then LKO_PRYJ seperately
