Re# 5838636-12              
I did see it departing from LKO once and every coach was jampacked at the time of departure. They resembled General coaches proper. I did not know that Chair Car was also suffering in this train.

Lucknow has two more trains like this for Varanasi. I traveled in the morning one with a smaller rake size. It also gets crowdy but nowhere on the scale of this evening one. The afternoon one is probably the least crowdy since it takes the most time.
