Many people do their train change over and boarding-alighting at Lucknow and get confused by seeing their trains starting from two different stations-LJN & LKO. This tip will surely help those.
See the image attached. The Blue arrow shows the Lucknow Charbagh station called as "Badi Line" and is under Northern railways. The black arrow shows the Lucknow Junction station called as "Choti Line" & is under North Eastern Railway.
The Lucknow Charbagh station is a pass through station and trains doesn't need rake reversal here. But Lucknow Junction station is a

Terminal type station where Rake reversal is compulsory , as you can clearly see in the image.
Now if you have to go from Lucknow charbagh to Lucknow Station, then come outside of the LKO from Pf 1 side and from the exit which is towards CNB side (Thats because if you come out from other exit which is towards varanasi side then you will have to walk bit more.) and after coming outside , see towards LEFT hand side. You will see another building in front of you. Just go there and enter it. You will be standing at Lucknow Junction. This will hardly take 8-10 min for this change over. So if you are having a change over here at LKO/LJN , then easily 30 minutes are more than enough for Buffer (just giving example:Never keep small buffers for change over. Atleast keep 2-3 hrs buffer for all change over of trains at any station.)
This LJN station is newer as compared to LKO and has lesser options for everything, be it food or books or anything else, as compared to Lucknow Charbagh station (LKO).

Recently travelled in the AC chair car of this train.
It was not a really good experience overall, the AC was not working properly everyone in the coach complained to the coach attentand and the TT number of times then they increased the cooling only after we crossed Unnao even after that it didn't help the overall cooling inside the coach.

If you

get the seat in the first row then you are never lucky because in ICF AC chair cars you won't have a AC Vent near your seat and which will not provide enough cooling. Which is not the case in LHB AC Chair cars.

Also the levers for reclining the seats were either broken or not working. The trays were hanging on some seats which after complaining were fixed.

The good points were, this train has been given enough slack in order to cover delay over 1hr easily,
Vendors will keep coming in the train selling tea, cold drinks and other packed items. One can also buy food from Kanpur and Orai.

Being one of the important train between Jhansi and Lucknow the maintenance was not upto the mark and since the same rake will be used in Lucknow - Meerut Rajyarani express in near future the maintenance is bound to be affected.

PS- missed the gulab jamuns of Orai as the train was delayed and couldn't find any vendor 😢

This train is originated from Lucknow NER so it is advisable to board train directly from Platform Number 6 which is directly accesible by Cabway Road. and For LJN nearest Metro station is Durgapuri which is directly connected to all platforms of LJN
