Some RSAs are useless. Another one not quite suited is the one b/w ASH-GKP ICE and LJN-PPTA ICE. Due to the long distance and often delayed run of the latter, it has ~8 AC coaches now including an AC 2 Tier. It makes sense on a 500+ km route; but not for an ICE, especially one that goes via loop line to GKP.

The Intercity via main line b/w Lucknow and Gorakhpur does perfect with only 3 AC Chair Cars.

TPU-LJN train should be commenced because when the Nainital Express was running during meter gauge era, some coached were attached coming from Tanakpur, so why don't full train should be starts from there.

True, Nainital Express, in one form or the other should be started from LJN/ASH. This stretch is mostly empty at night, so even if they do a late night start, it'll only have one xing with an incoming passenger train before racing towards Pilibhit until morning with no trains to OT/xing with.

No bro it is a good train and deserves AC coaches. but I agree with you that general and sleeper coaches should be increased in this train. This train was originally introduced for Gorakhpur Gonda loop line passengers.
