/train/211664
Probably the easiest Vande Bharat to introduce, that too a 16 coach one, but IR hasn't done so. This one stops at Etawah and Aligarh too, which the Tejas doesn't to provide additional connectivity. Unlike the Shatabdi, however it skips Tundla and Phaphund [a temporary stoppage].

a very slow schedule has been given .. this is at par with Shatabdi or Tejas .. not VB.
This should only halt at Aligarh and Ghaziabad apart from Kanpur . Aligarh can also be skipped.

But CNB-LKO tracks still haven't been upgraded. I would be too happy to see trains hitting it under 1 hour but it's currently not possible. The tracks post CNB are theoretically 160 kmph possible, I think, but no train does 130+ kmph. VB will only have the advantage of faster acceleration; still I will remove Aligarh and Etawah as a stoppage and speed it up by some minutes. Then, it will have the same stoppage pattern as the VB.
Check the TT of 22435 between NDLS and CND .. its 4 hours 8 mins. add 2 min halt at CNB it would become 4 hours 10 mins. . add 10 mins for GZB halt . TT would become 4 hours 20 mins... now add 1 hour TT between CNB and LKO.. The total TT would become 5 hours and 20 mins .. Lets plan a VB not the same old Shatabdi passenger !
I got it under 6 hours now. It takes less time than what Lucknow Swarn Shatabdi used to originally take[6 hours 10 minutes ] and Tejas [6 hours 15 minutes]. If this replaces the Tejas, it'll be nearly an hour faster than Shatabdi which takes 6 hrs 50 minutes now at nearly the same fare structure at the Tejas [with probably better boarding times since 0645 hrs is easier to board than 0600 hrs].
The only way it can go faster now if CNB-GZB tracks can maintain even an higher average than...
