Useful Useful _/\_:I can't say about saffron VB.
One observation :
The white vande Bharat(20608/20607) is better than the saffron vande Bharat(20663/20664) in terms of stability at 130kmph,even though white vande Bharat is running with older rake (2022) while saffron VB is running with 2024 rakes!

Has anyone else felt the same with other VBs?
...
more...

Any possible reason?
Note :20608/07 is 16car whereas 20664/63 is 8 car

Until now I travelled in White VB 16C only and hence unsure if Saffron and White's have any differences. Maybe as you've mentioned as 8C & 16C there could be the difference? Harshu and Kumud can clarify.

Agree:True that!
These 2 train numbers are super confusing. ЁЯШВ Maybe the LKO NR has to take care of tracks properly. Nice to know that you've travelled in the SFR-8C . Yeah the white's can get dirty too quickly. The darker color tends to camouflage the dirt to a certain extent.ЁЯШЕ

Chasing the sun. Sunrise and sunsets.

1. The essence of Varanasi. A few pilgrims rest beside the station board, while a Lucknow ALCo waits patiently for it's next shunting duty at Varanasi Junction.

2....

A DLTB WAP-7 furiously skipping Etawah Junction with SDAH Duronto, while a cloudy day begins.

3. A late running Shivganga Express rushes through a thick blanket of fog, somewhere ahead of Fatehpur.

4. North East Express moving towards it's next halt Mughalsarai, while a BOBRN freight crosses over DFC in the orange hue of sunset.

5. AJNI WAG-9HC xings with my NDLS-BSBS Superfast hauling some ER based train. Interestingly, all the 3AC coaches were of Humsafar livery.

6. Into the ALCo heaven. Patna-Kota Express led by twin LKO ALCos, meets another LKO ALCo lying idle. Waiting in distance is yet another LKO ALCo led train, while a beautiful day comes to an end.

7. A MEMU coming out of it's foggy silhouette at Bidanpur/NCR.

8. Yet another ALCo waits in the golden hour, while Marudhar Express passes the dilapidated ECR marked Garib Rath coaches standing around Varanasi Junction since ages.

Kumud.

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.
