This train will have sitting coaches like normal VB? Alternatively, why not run a normal M/E train; often the best solution is the simplest one. Run something that suits everyone.

Re# 6215780-2              
They need the dough, clear and simple explanation.

Running a special train won't bring enough extra revenue, so why not run an already overpriced premium service as a special. They're running a VB/Tejas rake on the NDLS-PNBE route, which is double this route, then why not here.

The...

original service this rake is used for runs poorly patronized anyways, so NR/LKO is doing everything to generate revenue from those two rakes. Volvos are running ONT with seating configuration since ages, and are doing just fine.

So, if the journey is doable, and if people are willing to buy the tickets, what's wrong in running a VB.

The seats of VB have an inclination or recline angle of 19.5 deg where as in Volvo or night service buses the recline angle is 40 deg, lighting is put off which help in sleep while in train ACC you have full lighting with high lux. So buses cannot be compared with night ACC. Further night buses in past 10 years have upgraded to AC sleeper buses all over India.

As Merrut Lucknow is running with 2 rakes this spl is introduced and returning in night to have regular 4...

Re# 6215780-4              
Obviously, I can add a lot more pointers why Volvos are more comfortable than ONT ACC, one of the main reasons being the cushion comfort of the seats. But that's not my point.

If someone's buying tickets in an ONT ACC train just to reach somewhere in the 'stampede-like' rush of the festive seasons, they're well aware of the choice they're making. These are extra trains being run for passangers' convenience. We aren't talking about the ideal situations here.
...
more...

I've traveled sitting with 4 other people on my seat during the '19 Kumbh in Prayagraj, so there's not much you can do during festive seasons.

And as I can see this train's scheduled days are from October 25th to November 9th. Most of the passenger traffic will be in it's day counterpart, towards Bihar. So, the night time train is being run as just a return train, anyway.

P.S. In the northern parts of India at least, state run ONT buses are mostly still in seating configuration, no matter how luxury they've become.

Re# 6215780-5              
This is what I fail to understand. State-owned bus organizations often complain about the losses they incur, yet they do not introduce the buses that people actually need.

For instance, if these organizations, such as UPSRTC, introduced reliable sleeper buses on routes like Varanasi to Lucknow, Prayagraj to Lucknow, and Varanasi to Gorakhpur, many passengers would switch from trains to these buses.

However, they simply do not. I cannot comprehend why government-run bus organizations in North India never introduce sleeper buses.

Exactly what I was thinking this morning, although the context was different.

Tumhara ek blog tha, why mainline major stations of UP are neglected. And something I was thinking about why members from Bihar are so much concerned about trains.

The...
more...
reason is simple, cities of UP are extensively served by UPSRTC, we've buses every few minutes to hours. That's why trains aren't much of a necessity here. And that makes up for the fact that despite being under served by trains, it's not a matter of concern.

Whereas Bihar/Jharkhand lack in state run transport services if not completely devoid of. That creates the major difference and that's one of the reasons, newer trains to Godda and CIC are justified even if most of the people here ridicule that step.

It's not about defending, it's more about what's required and what's being done.

Agree:But needed as roadways gets crowded
Exactly ,compared to neighbouring states like Bihar and MP, UP has a very good network of state run buses.

This is the same reason ,why in festival time, even the capital Lucknow, where you will get patronage for sure, has not dedicated specials (to even Delhi).

Pretty much what you said, beshaq roadways are not the most comfortable way to travel around but when it gets the job done, it basically gets the job done.

koi aadmi Allahabad Civil Lines Bus Stand pe kuchh der ke liye khada ho jayega, so he'll see the UPSRTC frequency - Banaras, Lucknow, Kanpur, Jaunpur, Pratapgarh falana dhemkana

Har jegeh ke liye bus frequency will be between 5 to 20 minutes.

UP me jahan train nahi, wahan sarkari bus hai aur jahan sarkari bus nahi wahan darzano aur saikdo private bus hai.

I would like to add one more point to this discussion, specifically regarding the privatization of public services, such as state-owned buses and railways.

Festive season aa raha hai, Railways ek line se lagatar special trains launch kar raha hai. Abhi Maha-Kumbh aayega Prayagraj me to wahan pe UPSRTC saikdo bus laga dega nayi nayi agal bagal ki cities aur towns ke liye.

Ham Railways ya Roadways ko kitna bhi gaali de dein, ye organizations logon ki jimmedaari lete hai guardians (maa-baap) jaise, wahin pe private commodities like private buses or the airline sectors, apna daam badha dete hai festive season ke time.

And that is the difference between government and private for you.

They're running it with the rake of Meerut Vande Bharat (most probably) hence extension from Lucknow side was not possible. Also they are taking it back early morning which will not attract many passengers.

Yes, this could have been done with better timings and management of Rakes.
But let's hope this (LKO CPR) will get regularise with different & better timings.
