Agree
This train will have sitting coaches like normal VB? Alternatively, why not run a normal M/E train; often the best solution is the simplest one. Run something that suits everyone.

Re# 6215780-4              
Obviously, I can add a lot more pointers why Volvos are more comfortable than ONT ACC, one of the main reasons being the cushion comfort of the seats. But that's not my point.

If someone's buying tickets in an ONT ACC train just to reach somewhere in the 'stampede-like' rush of the festive seasons, they're well aware of the choice they're making. These are extra trains being run for passangers' convenience. We aren't talking about the ideal situations here.

I've traveled sitting with 4 other people on my seat during the '19 Kumbh in Prayagraj, so there's not much you can do during festive seasons.

And as I can see this train's scheduled days are from October 25th to November 9th. Most of the passenger traffic will be in it's day counterpart, towards Bihar. So, the night time train is being run as just a return train, anyway.

P.S. In the northern parts of India at least, state run ONT buses are mostly still in seating configuration, no matter how luxury they've become.

Better it the train would run between PRYJ and Udhampur via MKP , Jhansi , Agra
Like Subedarganj - Udhampur Special and it will connect all three zones of NCR and Bundelkhand will get faster connectivity to northern part

Bro, I think North Indian cities are more intricately connected to the northern cities and same with southern Indian cities( where people travel not only for jobs but also to their families and other purposes.)
This can also be seen as more direct no of flights From North to North and South to South rather than North to South (except metro cities where people from all parts of India resides in big no due to jobs and other opportunities). Thus,Population and size of cities has less role to play if not fully.
That's
