They are mostly middle class people, as AC/CC back then was the equivalent of today's 3rd A/C.

There were no 3 tier A/C sleeper coaches back then. Before independence, there was only 1st class A/C, as they felt that only the 1st class passengers would prefer to spend money on A/C travel.

According to some news, NDLS station will be closed for 4 years. So all east bound train will be operated from ANVT. Is there any possibility that 12801/02 will go to Delhi Jn instead of ANVT?.
