Varanasi, also known as Banaras or Kashi, is a major cultural and religious hub located in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The Varanasi Junction railway station, which is an essential point of entry into the city, has five platforms and is well-connected to various parts of the country. To reach Varanasi by road, the city is easily accessible via National Highways 2 (NH-2) and 19 (NH-19), which are part of the Golden Quadrilateral highway network. There are several state and private buses that operate from nearby towns and cities, including Lucknow, Allahabad, and Agra. The Varanasi city bus station, also known as the Varanasi Bus Terminal, is located close to the railway station, making it convenient for travelers arriving by bus. Local transport options, including auto-rickshaws and cycle rickshaws, are readily available for reaching various parts of the city, including famous ghats and temples.

Regarding safety, Varanasi generally maintains a welcoming atmosphere for both locals and tourists.

The city has a heavy police presence in tourist areas, contributing positively to a sense of safety. The rich cultural tapestry and spiritual ambiance make Varanasi an unforgettable destination, complemented by its accessibility, diverse lodging facilities, and a wealth of vegetarian dining options.

Agree Agree
In my opinion railways should make future train sets with this coach composition 6 general class coaches including luggage loading capacity , 6 sleeper coaches , 8 ac class coaches ( which can include third ac or second ac or first ac or can be a mixture of these coaches ) and ( either 1 ac coach or 2 ac coaches can be removed to add pantry car coach and extra luggage coach ) so 6+6+8 total 20 and 2 electric locos ( 1 at front side of whole trainset and 1 at back side of the whole trainset ) so 20 +2 total 22 coaches , so that instead of giving lhb rakes to some trains which runs on a longer path railways should directly convert those mail or express or superfast express trains into these trains sets and cost of making lhb coaches will also be reduced or...

saved due to directly conversion of mail or express train into train sets and rake reversal time of many trains will be reduced cost of doing rake reversal of a train will also be reduced ( due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) and speed of all trains can be increased (due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) . Please give your opinion on this but please don't give any argument related to politics so that i can save my post from getting archived.

Or either railways can apply this coach composition in in some upcoming amrit bharat express trains so that we can get see that whether this coach composition for train sets will become a successful idea or will become waste idea.
