There are practically only 2 alternatives to this VB: the morning Kumbha/Upasana Express in which ticket availability is tougher. The only overnight train is BSB-DDN Express but IR has hamstrung it with first, lower nos of coaches [16 in number when LHB can go to 22, I am not sure if it due to platform constraints at DDN or not] and a extremely slow TT [really, 38 kph is a travesty; it's slack filled to the distance].
please wait...Translate to HindiIsme bas do options hai: Subah ka Kumbha/Upasana Express, jisme tickets milna bahut mushkil hai. Raat ka ek train hai, BSB-DDN Express, lekin IR ne usko bohot slow kar diya hai, aur kam coaches bhi lagaye hain.
