Plz bring a small ladder if you need to board AC coaches of Shramjeevi Express 12391. Platform length is that much short. AC coaches are out of platform no.4
Ridiculous. I hope this TIP will help passengers of AC class.

While coming from Allahabad towards Varanasi (on the ALD-GYN-MUV-BSB line), keep an eye on the left. The track passes through Diesel Locomotive Works, Varanasi campus and you should see the administrative building on the left side immediately after you cross the station.
