Have been travelling on this train since it was introduced following Ranchi was linked by broad gauge railway line. If the train is late in reaching/leaving Gaya jn. many passengers holding non-express tickets or no tickets at all enter Sleeper Classes Gaya onwards. There have been cases of theft between Gaya and Patna during pre-smart phone era also and now cases snatching of phones by youngsters is happening, who act when train is slow. Ticket checking between Gaya & Patna is a solution.
