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.

Patna-Delhi both sides is a day time journey, so atleast that's fine. Even this train in the other direction has okayish TT [much better than the crawler LJN-CPR via AY]. Just that this specific direction is an outlier with a pure overnight TT.

Exactly. Vande Bharats are good, but not beyond 4-5 hours. The cons, imo, are lack of privacy or the silence you want in travelling (CC Coaches), passengers talking in the front is clearly audible in the back rows. The sounds get amplified if group of people/families are travelling in this together (Some of this maybe related to lack of civic sense, which i hope we will learn eventually), nonetheless, it becomes sheer discomfort for lone passenger. The problem aggravates if you are sitting in the middle in 3 seat configuration. (These are some of the issues i faced when i travel in ANVT-AY VB).

Although,

the LKO Tejas, which probably due to high fares( probably runs with 20-30% occupancy in weekdays), is quite a pleasure, but it burns your pocket. For 8-10 hour journeys, i feel night riders are best.

(Personal opinion, no offence intended)
Happy Dussehra

Executive class seats have more recline then normal ACC, more leg space or seat pitch, wide seat with arm rests, better cushioning and high head rest.

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.

Jharkhand me to roadways naam se kuchh hai hi nahi khas, Bihar me hai lekin not even remotely close to the level of UPSRTC.

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.

Agree:perhaps.
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.
