On paper, it is faster than the VB b/w BSB and AY and a much needed connection b/w AY and LKO since no unreserved Intercity trains ply b/w these two sets of stations [3 VB trains connect them but they serve a different segment of the population]. In practise, it remains an hour or so delayed.

How much this train will be crowded?
As there is no 2S reservation in this train, can we get seats to sit.

Not much crowded, it basically runs more than half empty. You won't just get a seat to sit but to sleep on the whole seat.

If it was provided with 2S and CC coaches, it would gain a lot of traction and passengers.

As the other poster said, it's not crowded at all. People don't use it for end to end travel since the Shuttle express runs at the same timings via a faster route and is lesser delayed. It is an important link b/w Varanasi and Ayodhya though and intervening stations pax often end up using it.

Does anyone find it ironic that an unreserved passenger train with four stops has a higher average speed b/w BSB-AY compared to PNBE-GTNR VB which is non stop on the same section? Also, does this train really OT the Gunga Sutlej Express daily as expressed in the TT?

Agree
This train is very useful to the Ayodhya bound pilgrims from varanasi to go to Ram Mandir and come back on the same day.
This train should also have Reserved Sitting accommodation.
That will boost the religious tourism.

Earlier it was running with MEMU Rake hence no Reservation option was there for booking. Now the coach has been changed to ICF and it has became an Intercity train, we may be able to see 2S Booking for this train in future. Like they added a DE1 in 20401 Shuttle Superfast via Sultanpur. (BSB-LKO).
