Many people daily travels from BBS/CTC, KUR & PURI to BAM, IPM,SPT,PSA, NWP, CHE, VZM & VSKP and vicerversa. So ECoR had introduced an ICE (Train # 18411) from BBS to VSKP but it has as many as 25 halts between BBS & VSKP and in one way it can be called as passenger train rather than express train as it takes 8 hrs. The very purpose of introducing an ICE is becoming void as people who want to travel early from BBS to VSKP are taking Train # 18463 Prasanthi exp and if they miss it they have the weeklies Anga, Amaravati & HWH - PDY exp and no one is boarding the ICE as it is super slow. So it will be better if that ICE speed is increased (along with increase in coaches with Pantry car) and if it covers the distance in 6:30 mins and it...

could act as a link exp to 18463 and it would be better 18463 is restricted between VSKP and SBC. For eg: ICE starts at 5:30/6:00 at BBS and 12/12:30 and 18463 can start at 1 PM as usual (if ICE gets delayed then automatically 18463 will also gets delayed & viceversa in the reverse direction) and similarly 18464 reaches at 1:15 and ICE can start at 2/2:30 and can reach BBS 8:30/9. In this way lot of fuel and man power can be saved and that rake can used for some other purpose.
