When it arrives at night from MAO, isnt it shifted to the pit line for maintenance as the PM is done at MAQ ?
He's talking about MAO. Both MAQ MAO and CSMT MAO arrive on PF2 from either sides. 20645 waits on the same platform till its departure at 18:10.
Yes, on trial day It reached madgaon on 12:23 pm but with no stoppage at Karwar, but even if halted there it could have reached on or before 12:30 itself. Lot of slack, I have seen 12432 NZM - TVC doing Udupi - Manglore in 57 minutes. This vande Bharat needs a aggressive time table like CSMT-MAO Vande Bharat.
Yep, Both Vande Bharat(s) one from CSMT and one from MAQ are 8 coaches so they park it there only but useful for an hour and half only because once CSMT Vande Bharat departs MAQ be's there for 3½ hours. But I think MAO have made it that way specially for VB's they have put even signboards there maintaining gap b/w Two VB's.
Yes. I saw it last time I was at MAO.
They announced CSTM vb as 'the VB standing between coach boards 2 - 10, so people don't get confused as which to board.

Calicut doesn't even have a stabling line. This is just a demand from some politician. The train won't be extended anywhere south since its base is MAQ.
CLT doest have any maintenance facility so highly unlikely of it being extended. Train is of PGT div and maintenance needs to happen at MAQ. On the other hand coastal Karnataka passengers are asking for integrating this with the MAQ-CSMT VB and have a MAQ-CSMT VB with 16 car coaches. I guess 2 rakes will be needed and will also solve the demand for a day train between MAQ-Mumbai. Lets see what happens

Tried out the concept of "connecting" Vande Bharat services for the first time.
Travelled from Mangalore to Mumbai by the Vande Bharat service, making full use of the only section in India with connecting Vande Bharat services currently. Took the 20646 Mangalore Madgaon VB to MAO and from there, took the 22230 Madgaon Mumbai VB.

Yes. I don't know why they had to slot VB at 18:10 and have 3 scheduled overtakes when it could have easily departed at 14:00 and acted as a connection to the Mumbai VB.

Add 1hr40mins layover at Madgaon. Also, no telescopic fare benefit. If it's operated as a single service, MAQ CSMT in 12hrs30mins with a fare of around ₹2300.
Also, right now MAQ 08:30 CSMT 22:25 = 13:55 hours, still faster than Rajdhani.

No idea about that but the food was excellent. Lunch on 20646 was cold as mentioned in the video but other than that, no complaints.

Not possible 407km will take 5hrs and Coimbatore is already crowded with many intercities leaving in morning. There is a intercity in morning at 600 and it's only 1 ACC get empty after Khozikode Kannur and demand even will not be there towards Karnataka from Coimbatore and so is Khozikode kannur.
What about PM and where should it be done? Should be bought back to Manguluru 46km every day. As they are no maintainance facilities even basic to check VB at night Kasargod TVM 8 coach is running with 2 rakes with PM at TVM

Nothing can increase patronage of this train during week days as the occupancy is only 20% with only 100 seats and availability of 390. A stop at Gokarna wil give additional 50 towards Goa and 100 during weekends but it will not get that 50-100 from Mangalore. The reverse being 1810 dep from Madgaon they will be no tourists even for Gokarna as rooms check in starts at 1200. A late dep at Madgaon is not required as it's not...

CBE-MAQ there was a Shatabdi proposed couple of years back but nothing materialised. CBE-MAQ is also more a section where an intercity kind of train will work much better. VB may not work.

It is supposed to overtake the 16596 Express as per schedule which it doesn't and gets delayed like this every day despite running at 120kmph!
Even I've been tracking it, not always but a few times though as 16596 Panchaganga has more stops between Bantawala and Karwar overtaking is mostly done by 20645 Vande Bharat Express since only two stops are there but seriously time table should be adjusted accordingly because the gap between these two arriving at Udupi are very close hence this situation arises.
