Aug 27 2024 (08:29) 04217/Varanasi - Lucknow Express Special (via Ayodhya Dham) (UnReserved) | LKO/Lucknow Charbagh NR (9 PFs)kirk781^~ 5464 blog posts
On paper, it is faster than the VB b/w BSB and AY and a much needed connection b/w AY and LKO since no unreserved Intercity trains ply b/w these two sets of stations [3 VB trains connect them but they serve a different segment of the population]. In practise, it remains an hour or so delayed.
How much this train will be crowded?
As there is no 2S reservation in this train, can we get seats to sit.

Not much crowded, it basically runs more than half empty. You won't just get a seat to sit but to sleep on the whole seat.
If it was provided with 2S and CC coaches, it would gain a lot of traction and passengers.

As the other poster said, it's not crowded at all. People don't use it for end to end travel since the Shuttle express runs at the same timings via a faster route and is lesser delayed. It is an important link b/w Varanasi and Ayodhya though and intervening stations pax often end up using it.
Very good train, clean, ~30 mins to 1 hr late.
