If you're going to VSKP on this train, make sure you set an alarm for when it arrives at VSKP. It always arrives early at VSKP, no matter what delays there may be at BZA.

For those who travel from MAS on Pinakini and then switch to this train (several trains at the same time), you can get off at GDR or NLR (depending on the stops). These weekly or bi-weekly trains will always stick to following Pinakini and never pass it. This is the usual situation, and it's very rare for Pinakini to have major delays.

If tu VSKP jaane jaa rahe ho is train mein, toh yaad rakho ki VSKP ke pahunchne ke liye alarm set karlo. Har haalat mein VSKP pe train hamesha pehle hi pahunchti hai, chahe BZA pe deri ho ya naa ho.

Agar tu MAS se Pinakini se journey karke is train mein aate ho (kuch trains aise hi time pe chalti hai), toh tum GDR ya NLR pe utar sakte ho (halts ke hisab se). Ye weeklies ya bi-weeklies hamesha Pinakini ko follow karte hain aur kabhi bhi usse overtake nahi karte. Ye standard situation ke liye hai aur Pinakini ki exceptional delays bahut bahut kam hote hai.

If you love going fast, this train ain't for you. It won't even reach 95km/hr. At Varanasi Jn, loads of people with passes will try to get into the AC and Sleeper coaches to grab a seat. But remember, pass holders can only sit if there are empty seats. If this happens to you, call the toll-free number 182 and file a complaint. A RPF officer will come and handle the situation.

Agar speed ka deewana ho toh yeh train tere bas ki nahi hai kyunki yeh train kabhi bhi 95km/hr ki speed tak nahi jaati hai. Varanasi Junction mein bahut saare log AC aur Sleeper coaches mein ghus jaate hain kyunki unke paas so-called pass hota hai. Lekin agar train mein koi seat khali hai toh sirf pass wale hi uss seat par baith sakte hain. Agar tere saath aisa hota hai toh 182 toll-free number par call kar aur apni shikayat darj kara. Shikayat ke baad RPF ka adhikari tere paas aayega aur apna duty karega.
