This train worse than a Passenger train.
Biggest joke: 14308 BE PRG exp (literally Passenger) departs from BE 1.30hrs after this 14236 BSB exp , but still always overtakes this train before arriving LKO.
Kindly ignore this train if you have to Travel between Bareilly to Varanasi. Even the DDN BSB Janta is far more better than this train.
It is Worst in terms...
more... of punctuality and never runs on time irrespective of the Huge Slack povided.
NR is just looting people by running a Poor Passenger category with Express fare.
But yes, if you have to travel from Lucknow to Varanasi , Then this train can be very well preferred due to its Full overnight journey and good seat availability.
But don't ever waste money on this train for travelling between Bareilly to Lucknow. Even the UPSRTC buses takes far lesser time for Bareilly to Lucknow journey compared to this train.
PS: Lucknow is in RLWL with lesser seats. If you want to enjoy GNWL of this train (majority of times LKO-BSB RLWL is full up whereas BE-BSB GNWL is empty) , then kindly book from Kakori to Varanasi with Boarding from Lucknow.
