Agree
A slow moving train b/w Varanasi/Banaras and Ranchi. I was surprised to see a single AC coach in this train. Reminded me of another crawler LJN-BJU express which used to run with a single AC coach back in the day [it runs with EIGHT now for some reason].

I honestly think they can speed up/extend this train. Or maybe, on the two days, that this train doesn't run, an extended version from LKO-RNC could run. Both state capitals remain unconnected despite not being geographically too far.

This station lies in the city of Varanasi on the BSB-MGS route. The beautiful ghat section over which the bridge is built starts right after this station. The facilities at the station are mediocre despite few passengers and some express trains having stoppage here.

Visible in the images are couple of SBs of the station and a front view. The train standing in the first image is BSBS-RNC Express.
