They should have given this train more second sitting options, not AC 3 Tier or Sleeper car. No one needs AC 3 Tier for 5 hr journey. Whilst seeing the mammoth General crowd in this train, one would assume it'll be easier for many to transition to 2S than AC 3.

All intercity trains have maximum number of general class and 2S coaches should be there. This is a basic need of the public. IR can add 2-3 CC coaches but not more than it.

They could do it. It has a high turn around time at Lucknow. The rake just idles away. It would atleast create another much sought after connection for[daily passengers] LKO-CNB as well.
