Normal GEN Sleeper ticket being issued for the journey b/w Gorakhpur- Lucknow Junction for this train.
These tickets can be asked from Unreserved ticket counters. Normal sleeper charges applicable and same for the Journey in reverse direction for the same train.
.
So if you missed morning Intercity then can catch this train for Lucknow.
Many
...
more...
Seats remain vacant till LJN/CNB so crowd is not very much till LJN.
.
All day time trains on GKP-LKO section avail this facility but I have tried in this train only so may be it will be over to TTE for other trains to let you board or not but all RAPTISAGAR (Coachin express) and its clone trains do Avail its facility for sure.
Thanks

Apart from this there is no place worth visiting in Gorakhpur.
Gorakhnath temple can be visited in an hour
Ramgarh tal is worth going (a beautiful lake with green water)
Nothing else

One can not visit GITA Press as its a press
You can visit the Shop though
Kushinagar is just a place with mismanagement
Visit it to witness it.
