8 coach was enough for Gaya Howrah VB. I think railway have some plans to extend it. That's why 16 coach may be given

I said on day 1 that Ju- SBI will be flop since no one from Ju- wants to alight at SBI. To make it popular, there are 2 actions that need to be taken. 1- extend it to Vadodara so that people travelling to-from ADI are benefitted. 2- remove the 30 minute slack from it since the route is fully double (except Luni-MJ) which is manageable.

Re# 6197164-23              
Instead it should be extended to ST ! It will be a sure shot hit then !!
WR only receives NWR trains at SBIB , otherwise they have terminated OKHA and BHUJ ones at ADI !!!

Yes I was surprised to know that Gaya got a 16 coacher VB when most other VBs from Bihar are 8 coachers including the PNBE-HWH one.

I think Railway has some plans to extend it to either PNBE as reverse HWH - PNBE VB or extend it to either Varanasi for getting more occupancy.

Condition improved for today's run. More than 50% booking.
On Sunday, Shatabdi is not running. So it will be good to see the number of bookings.

Agree
So more than 8-9 coaches are filled. It's good
Given if it becomes 8C then it's extension from Gaya would not be required.

Nice booking given that if it would have run with 8 coaches it would be 100%+ occupancy people's are preferring it over shatabdi and Dhanbad Gaya route also.
