Anyone remember the Varuna Express?

Calling all train lovers! Today, let's reminisce about the legendary Varuna Express. This pre-pandemic train used to be the go-to for people travelling from Kanpur to Varanasi, stopping at familiar stations like Unnao, Lucknow, and Sultanpur. Those were the good old days!

Here's

the problem now: there's no train that directly connects Kanpur and Varanasi anymore. The only options are long-distance trains that come to Kanpur already full of passengers. Not exactly convenient, right?

But there's more to the story. For the people of Unnao, the Varuna Express wasn't just a train, it was a lifesaver. It provided a much-needed daily connection to bigger cities.

Now, there's the 20401/02 Lucknow Varanasi Shuttle Superfast Express, kind of like a new version of the Varuna Express, but it only runs between Lucknow and Varanasi. While it helps people in Lucknow, it leaves Kanpur and Unnao feeling a bit stranded.

So, what's the point? The Varuna Express was more than just a train; it was a crucial connection for many cities and their people. While the 20401/02 exists, it doesn't quite replace the original. Hopefully, someday, the Varuna Express might return, reconnecting cities and making travel easier for everyone!

Yeah.... Arrival in BSB should be 9:30pm, after that it becomes inconvenient. Departure is 4am fine.

Whatever be the arrival, just restart needed.
According to ZBTT, It will only run till LKO now and LKO-CNB will be cancelled permanently.

Why don't these ICE have a 2S coach? Agra, Jhansi and Gorakhpur Intercity have it, so why not these bound for Allahabad and Varanasi?

Re# 4877514-2              
But the fare of a 2S is only slightly more than a general ticket. And if there is so much rush, then surely adding 2S coaches is the logical solution?
