DOJ- 04th March 2023
Patronage- Had good Waiting List but ended up having some seats available due to less usage of specific quota. Excellent patronage to/from Kanpur (almost stampede like situation), as expected almost empties out at Lucknow. Good patronage from Kanpur for Ayodhya.
Maintenance- Bad, poor shape. Broken Glasses of Windows. Rotating lever doesn't work for few seats in EC. Window blinds were was broken, I had to roll it up by inserting my fingers ended up getting silver paint of roll blinds all over my finger. Washroom maintenance is good enough....
more... Fewer mosquitos courtesy of winter season otherwise there would be lot thanks to Ghazipur Nala nearby CDO.
Breakfast- Veg Only due to Ayodhya that too only has One Option, Parontha Sabji. Only Sabji was good rest everything was bad. Good options in ready to make powder tea though. First time saw Lemon Tea, loved it.
Staff Behaviour- Catering guys start serving Soup just before arrival at Lucknow Charbagh. Then they expect "Tips" saying Lucknow waalon ke liye Soup nahin hota humne aapko apne se diya. Total Scam going on. Deliberately serving dishes when one knows maximum movement will be at Lucknow Charbagh only.
Punctuality- As expected due to excessive slack remains before time running just behind Varanasi Vande Bharat. While Varanasi Vande Bharat shows delay of 48 minutes, this train shows no delay at all ЁЯлбЁЯШВ. Pathetic controlling in Kanpur Lucknow Section, stops at every other stations but reaches on time at Lucknow Charbagh and is deliberately delayed for 12 minutes at outer while WIMT shows train as arrived.
please wait...Translate to EnglishThe deal is on for March 4, 2023! The waiting list is cool, but some seats opened up тАШcause not many used a certain reservation. KanpurтАЩs popping off, like a mini stampede, but everyone dips at Lucknow. Good vibe from Kanpur to Ayodhya. The maintenance's a mess, bro. Windows are smashed, EC seats jacked up, blinds broken - had to roll тАШem up with silver paint all over my hands. Bathrooms are aight. Less bugs from winter, тАШcause otherwise, Ghazipur Nala would swarm with these suckers. BrekkieтАЩs only veg, with just one option - Parontha Sabji. Veg was on point but everything else was trash. Tea powder options were lit though, tried Lemon Tea for the first time and fell in love. The staffтАШs shady - they bring out the soup right before Lucknow, trying to hustle you for tips, saying itтАЩs a special treat for Lucknow peeps. Total scam, man. They know everyone's bouncing at Lucknow Charbagh. On the dot timing, running behind Varanasi Vande Bharat, but this train ainтАЩt showing no delays, unlike the Vande Bharat with a 48-minute hold up. The control in the Kanpur-Lucknow stretch is whack - stops every darn station but rolls in on time at Lucknow Charbagh, then chills for 12 minutes outside while WIMT says itтАЩs already there. Crazy, bro!
