This is probably an inaugural special or a trial run of the deluxe express. The regular running of the deluxe express started from 2nd October, 1956 from Howrah.
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.
Deluxe (Poorva and Paschim) trains were the first trains to get A/C chair car to cater to second class and third class passengers. Shortly afterwards, A/C 2 tier sleeper too started.
Partly due to design issues (earlier A/C coaches used a different A/C system, which made it difficult to get uniform cooling in the coach, especially for the

upper berths in sleeper coaches), 3-tier A/C coaches were not constructed initially. Once the design issues were resolved, production of 3 tier A/C sleepers commenced.

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?. Because I feel that some trains like purushottam, shiv ganga, prayagraj express, Lucknow mail and many other trains like these have high importance and should connect till main delhi instead of anvt.
