Tourist coach train stopped at Simchalam north (SCMN) for giving side to other trains for 1 hrs today. Also started from Araku at 5:30 pm and reached at 10:55 pm. Why to take Shatabdi executive fare when train stopped for more than 1 hrs to give way 3-4 trains. Finally arrived 2 hrs 10 min late. Stopped at SCMN which is 9 km from VSKP for more than 1 hrs.

Again today stopped at SCMN for 1 hr (Just 9 km from VSKP), who will pay more when train getting this kind of preference. VSKP is very much free at that time, but dont know why to detain it every day for 1 hrs at SCMN . Reached 2hrs late at VSKP

Atleast during summer time,we can see some bookings in return but it will run empty during winter season untill it gets more vistadome coaches to run as separate rake and utilise it properly for more trips,let's see what RB thinks

What are exactly vistadome coaches?? How many seats are available in it? What's the maximum speed these trains can run? Are they coming under LHB or ICF?

If at all they are run on the Delhi-Agra route, they should be fit for the usual 110kmph operations as they seem to have the same bogie structure as the normal ICF coaches. ICF coaches can be easily cleared for 120kmph operations as long as some maintenance norms are met. Since this is a tourist coach that won't see very rough use, there won't be any hurdles in meeting slightly more rigorous maintenance norms. So, it won't be a surprise (Neither is it a technical hurdle) if they are cleared for 120kmph operations 'if' operated on any of the high speed routes.
As others have pointed out, they do not have any special high speed features, as they

are for the casual tourists. Speed-wise, they are just the standard coaches. Whatever speeds the usual rolling stock can run at, so can these coaches. No exclusive features on that end.

These coaches are not designed for high speeds. These are specially designed for tourism, released as tourist coaches. Any where in the world mostly these tourist coaches runs at less speed only not at high speed. The purpose of these coaches to get the feel the nature.
Next set of coaches going to inaugurated at Kashmir and later some part of north east.

I did not say they will run fast at MPS "always". I said they will need to be fast in clearing the mainline if needed. Also like I mentioned, in the above post "what if" it is run on Konkan route?

they will create the slot accordingly so that it wont create as issue. As of now railways has no proposal to run these tourist coaches on Konkan railway. Railways going to run Tejas on Konkan very soon.
