Great
Onboard Agra Vande Bharat. Banaras/Manduadih origin is suitable for those living near DLW et al.
For Allahabad/Kanpur, advent of Vande Bharat has ensured seat availability even at the last moment.

Few CONs:
-
...
more...
Bottle holder near leg-rest is not appreciated. Hardly one would keep bottles there.
- Doors (inner compartment doors) do not have sensors like in shatabdi et al. Once they start closing, you have to hit green button to stop it/open it again, else it will hit you a bit hard, off-balancing you.

Shiv Ganga express (12559) is brought on the PF #8 of BSBS at around 6 PM (+/- 30 mins). So passengers willing to catch general coach seat need to be on BSBS 3-4 hours before the departure time of the train.
