More people probably cram into a GN coach than Durg VB. Also, UDZ-AGC VB reminds one of the JP-AF Shatabdi. Not worth it. Though I am surprised to find PNBE-GTNR VB running at full occupancy. Despite not good arrival time at PNBE, it is still getting pax.

Re# 6197164-31              
The only viable solution for UDZ to run a VB is to send it to NZM ! Quash all the present routes and start afresh with UDZ-NZM VB . The route can be covered in 8.5 hours easily !!

Re# 6197164-32              
The current VB via Agra can't obviously be extended to NZM since that would take the travel time to 10+ hours very easily. If they take UDZ-Delhi express, it'll still be a ~650+ km journey via slow tracks. If they route it via JP, the distance will jump again by 50+ kms. Plus, they would need to short terminate it at DEC or DEE at best since taking it to NDLS/NZM would take 30 mins extra very easily.

Re# 6197164-33              
First of all , they need to cancel all the routes .
Secondly they need to introduce a new 6 days a week train to NZM .
Starting UDZ at 6:00 , Kota :9:40 , NZM : 14:05
NZM : 15:00 Kota : 19:20/25 , UDZ : 23:05

I know its doable, but looking into the lackadaisical attitude of NWR, this looks like a distant dream.
