Shatabdis are already plying before 5 AM from ASR , FZP , PUNE .. ASR is a hit. CNB Shatabdi waise bhi 50% occupancy ke sath chalti hai... it will be good to extend it and give an aggressive schedule. NDLS=ALD and ALD=NDLS in less than 7 hours.

LKO = NDLS 5 hours ! HAHAHAHA
kindly look at the actual time table ! :P
it is more than Shatabdi travel time !

There was no need to be snarky. I already mentioned in my statement that it will be difficult for others. That said you cannot go to the extreme of claiming that nobody will use it. ALD-NDLS is very busy. There will still be a fair number of people willing to endure the difficulty to get to NDLS quickly e.g. students, BPO employees, early risers, people who could not get seats in PR and AD etc. Whether they will be enough to fill the entire quota is only a speculation until it is tested by actually running the train.
