Only one thing..... IR is trying to avoid puutting any train on NDLS CNB ALB MGS section...so it could not have been via COI....
And there are some works are going on Varanasi Sadat Aunrihar section....so. this could be via this route only....

But,...
more... yes they could have taken it to Jaunpur directly from Janghai via Mariahu...
