If you're checking the trains for any destination and any of them comes from Patna/Danapur
(like Patna - Ahmedabad, Danapur - Udhna, Patna - Ernakulam, Danapur - Secunderabad, Patliputra - Chandigarh) and it has WL book from/to Pandit Din Dayal Upadhyay Junction (DDU) which is only 18 kilometres away due to being in ECR it mostly enjoys GNWL quota in that trains and has better confirmation rate.

Re# 5184183-1              
yes its always a good idea to book your ticket in GNWL instead of RLWL or others.
i always prefer to book from MughalSarai in sharamjeevi instead of BSB..and never stuck in WL and not even RAC :)

Useful
IRCTC Executive Lounge at Varanasi Jn. on PF 1.
Charges - 70 rs. per hour (incl GST)
free wifi (good speed) & tea/coffee.
Clean & ample seating arrangement.
Some Banarasi saarees & suits...
more...
avbl for buying along with small handicraft items & replica of kashi vishwanath temple.
Worth the money for resting for few hours...👍
Only one thing I think that should be improved is, that there is only one toilet for male, female & divyang each. Given the capacity, its just not enough. Atleast 3 should be there.

This is condition AC-III Compartment of Dwarka Express. The compartment is full of Bed-bug & cockroach and i am not able sleep whole night and some how i completed my journey.This is my worst travelling experience and in between there is no water in the compartment. This train really cover long distance i.e. from Guwahati to Okha and railway should provide better facilities to avoid convenience to Passengers.This photos was taken on journey from GHY(Guwahati) TO BRC(Vadodara Jn) on 17th November 2014 to 19th November 2014.

Rates list attached with Blog.
1. Dont prefer untill its important/urgent or not getting low price hotels.
2. Situated on 1st floor and 2nd floor just where the SBI Bank was.
3. Bookings can be done at station in corridor of waiting rooms.
4....
more...
There is a hall and 30 beds are available, few have acces to charging points whose bed were closed with walls.
5. Even fans were available for each bed or say to all one.
6. Washrooms were in good condition, neat and clean.
7. Retiring rooms were looking good due to personal rooms and has neat clean service as well as facilities..
.
Got info from staff that sooner the dormitory will be shifted to new building under construction on right side of entrance, it will be given to pvt companies to operate with better facilities.
(I guess it will be same as LJN)
Thanks

11093 CSTM-BSB Mahanagri Express terminates and 11094 BSB-CSTM Mahanagri Express originates from PF2 on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Keep a watch on the same those looking for seats in unreserved coaches.
