train v. fly to Varanasi

yes, I've read all about taking an overnight train from Calcutta to Varanasi through Bihar, the alleged dangers, etc. The Poorva Express goes during the day, so what say y'all about taking this one?

me: February 2013, return to Calcutta but want to spend time in Varnasi...so....round trip train v. flying?

your opinion?? other than the difference in time....

How about 2A/C? I've never had a problem and have done that part several times.

Looks like I might just miss you there ... I have to come back to US on 3 January.
