Our coach was nearly 70% full
For Whole train, occupancy nearly 50%-60% ( as this is 16 coach VB)

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.

Great
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.

1000 seats to fill, a huge task for Gaya/Dhn
8 coach was enough IMO unless ER has some plans which they would reveal in future.

Re# 6189605-17              
Given the TAT, it would go to Patna easily. But Patna will be hesitant to take this as Patna has to handle NJP VB(NJP VB goes on PF10 at Patna) and TATA VB in this time. 2 platforms are occupied (only 3 platform has connection of Gaya-Patna at Patna junction) and 1 empty platform will handle Gaya-Patna memu in this time.

Re# 6189605-18              
TAT will be fine for BSB if made to depart HWH early and reach HWH late. HWH to BSB distance is lesser than NDLS to BSB, and HWH to DDU (small Gurpa Gujhandi ghat section being the exception) is 130km/h operated, hence it can do the section easily. The only difficulty might be platform availability at BSB and traffic in the DDU BSB section, but I think that can be sorted out as well.

Yes, DDU is I think manageable, if not BSB. DDU will also help.

Ddu will have platform issue. Blocking platform for minimum 1 hour.
Agar kahi jaegi toh maximum chance Patna ka hai ya phir ER 8C kar dega kuch month me.
