If you have to take connecting train from DDU by using this MEMU then NEVER EVER do this mistake..!!!!
This MEMU is denied entry by DDU Division at DDU before 4am.
Due to it's RSA Partner 03384 DDU-GAYA MEMU Departs at 4am.. so to avoid ECR to be parked at PF or somewhere, DDU receives this train around 4am so that after 10-15min halt it can depart as 03384 Gaya MEMU.
So

to reach DDU, take any express train and not this MEMU, it reaches DDU 4-5 hours late daily

Re# 6057843-3              
I have just confirmed that the issue is STILL ongoing.

DDU is delaying a train for 4 hours due to platform issues. Do the railway officials understand that there might be passengers on board, in that train??

Small-scale

NCR stations already have weak connections to larger stations along the route, and the few trains they have are experiencing these delays.

This train is operating merely so that railway officials can claim there is a MEMU service between DDU and PRYJ.

They should, In theory, not cancel it and instead improve it. Despite being a main line section, the intermediate stations are very poorly connected.

Most of the days train arrives hat Saugor on time. Most delays occur between Satna and Cheoki. And sometime DDU outer delays the train to pass Freight trains.

One of the busiest station on Howrah/Gaya/Patna to Varanasi/Lucknow/Allahabad/Delhi routes. Mostly people change here for Varanasi visit or if going to catch another train to Bihar. So, comparatively less crowded.
So, food served at various outlets might not be fresh or upto the desired expectations. Better carry your own.
Since, it's a busy station so a heaven for pickpocketers, beggars, unauthorized vendors etc. and hence these people cannot be avoided.

can be easily spotted during "VIP movement" i.e. after 12:00 am to 2:30 am. This time almost every possible Rajdhani passes the station. During other times you have to search for it.
For any help ask any GRP/Railway person, they will help you better.
Atleast 10 minutes stoppage for each train. Therefore, try not to leave your compartments to buy chips/biscuits etc. if travelling alone as theft is very common.
Expect quite a few local passengers between 8am to 8pm till Buxar/Dildarnagar/Gaya/Dehri and Varanasi/Mirzapur/Kashi mostly job wale, railway employees etc.
"Cantt" is Varanasi Jn - fare is minimum 30 maximum 40, Same for "BHU".
Reserved autos is not at all a problem, but don't fix anyone till you negotiate with atleast 2-3 autos. There is a auto stand outside main station exit, near temple exclusively for Varanasi Jn (CANTT)/ BHU.
HOPE YOU HAVE A PLEASANT JOURNEY EXPERIENCE.
