The Coimbatore-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express has faced criticism for its slow travel time and inconvenient timings. Activists and passengers argue that its average speed of 57 km/h is significantly slower than other Vande Bharat trains, like the Coimbatore-Chennai route which covers a greater distance at a faster speed. They suggest...

rescheduling the train's departure times to 6:10 am from Coimbatore and 2:30 pm from Bengaluru, and reducing the total travel time to 5.45 hours. Passengers find the current early morning departure inconvenient, especially for the return journey. Despite the issues, the train has maintained high occupancy rates, with an average of over 80% in January. The BJP MLA from Coimbatore South, Vanathi Srinivasan, has also called for a later departure time from Coimbatore, citing the early morning schedule's inconvenience. Some passengers suggest swapping the routes of the Vande Bharat and Uday Express trains, believing it would allow the Vande Bharat to reach Bengaluru faster via Kuppam and Jolarpet. This swap could also address the concerns about the Vande Bharat's slow travel time through hilly terrain.

zyada distance ko faster speed pe cover karta hai. Unka suggestion hai ki train ke departure time ko 6:10 am se Coimbatore aur 2:30 pm se Bengaluru kar diya jaaye, aur travel time ko 5.45 hours tak kam kar diya jaaye. Passengers ko current early morning departure time inconvenient lagta hai, khass kar return journey ke liye. Iske saare issues ke baavajood, train ki occupancy rates bahut high rahi hai, January mein average 80% se zyada thi. Coimbatore South se BJP MLA, Vanathi Srinivasan ne bhi Coimbatore se train ke departure time ko late karne ki demand ki hai, unka kehna hai ki current schedule subah bahut early hai. Kuch passengers ne Vande Bharat aur Uday Express trains ke routes ko swap karne ka suggestion diya hai, unka maanana hai ki isse Vande Bharat Kuppam aur Jolarpet ke raste se Bengaluru tak faster pahuch payega. Is swap se Vande Bharat ke hilly terrain se slow travel time ki problem bhi solve ho sakti hai.

hours and 10 minutes. The Coimbatore-Bengaluru UDAY Express, previously operating with 7 AC double-decker chair car coaches, will now have 8 AC coaches. The remaining coaches, including the 5 non-AC reserved coaches, will stay the same. The rakes of the two trains will be interchanged due to the relocation of the Coimbatore-Bengaluru UDAY Express rake's primary maintenance to Chennai. The maintenance slot in Bengaluru may have been allocated to a Vande Bharat Express. A rail enthusiast, S Vinoth Raj, has expressed that the Brindavan Express has been overcrowded and there is a need for a new intercity train between Bengaluru and Chennai during day hours.

route 5 hours aur 10 minutes mein cover karta hai. Coimbatore-Bengaluru UDAY Express, pehle 7 AC double-decker chair car coaches ke saath chalata tha, ab usme 8 AC coaches honge. Remaining coaches, jisme 5 non-AC reserved coaches bhi hain, woh same rahenge. Dono trains ke rakes ko interchange kiya jaayega, kyunki Coimbatore-Bengaluru UDAY Express rake ka primary maintenance Bengaluru se Chennai shift ho gaya hai. Bengaluru mein maintenance slot shayad Vande Bharat Express ko diya gaya hai. Ek rail enthusiast, S Vinoth Raj, ne comment kiya hai ki Brindavan Express saal bhar overcrowded raha hai aur unhone Bengaluru aur Chennai ke beech day hours mein ek new intercity train ki demand ki hai.

Similarly, the Chennai DD if required, the time can be altered depending upon the demand of public.
