As I mentioned before in the trains which I travelled through Kanpur Allahabad route, I have learnt one basic rule from almost everyone that I travelled with co passengers, coach attendants, TTE's, and other people, they all told me just one thing
"IN THIS ROUTE IF YOUR NOT TRAVELLING IN A VIP TRAIN THEN YOU'RE SERIOUSLY IN TROUBLE"
Believe me I haven't travelled near Lucknow or Sitapur Cantt route BUT I've travelled a LOT
