DOJ- 06th March 2024
Ex Lucknow AC Duronto and Ex Lucknow Rajdhani.
Had Great Expectations.
Maintenance - My Side lower berth was narrow, I guess, there was a sliding cover thingy which flattened the gaps and it was removed, leaving a huge gap between berth and panel below Window.

than that, everything was good. Hand wash liquid was actually of good quality not like running pink water found everywhere else. Washroom maintenance was good enough and it was clean enough to be used in morning.
Punctuality- Thanks to good slack and less halts it runs exactly on time. Crawled all the way from Charbagh to Alamnagar, LITERALLY CRAWLED.
After Alamnagar, it gained MPS. Saw bunching of trains after trains literally 6 trains till Alamnagar Outer waiting to enter Charbagh. Reached Ghaziabad and Pragati Maidan well before time but got regulated at New Delhi Outer to arrive 10 minutes late.
Good Food Items available at Platform # 1 of LKO.
Saw Soup for 10 Rupees per cup sold after years, had 3 cups ❤️
The Sendha Biryani Thing is literally good, after years had excellent tasting food from Railway Station. Everyone should definitely try.
Train was FULL. Quite literally one of the most Patronised train of the route after Lucknow Mail ofcourse.
No movement at Moradabad.
Good deboarding at Ghaziabad.

Mostly weeklies and special trains use it. Trains just don't wanna bypass Lucknow. It doesn't help that the route is slow as well. Though it has been electrified completely and some doubling is taking place, so a few long distance trains can be diverted via it.

The Bahraich route still hasn't been completely utilized. Bahraich still lacks proper connectivity to GKP via the main line. A special passenger/express runs via the loop line from Gonda but none via Gonda-Basti-Gorakhpur.

Trains like Sapt Kranti , Saharsa Amritsar Garib Rath, Ganga Sutlej, Amritsar Howrah Mail, Danapur Jan Sadharan etc have no business coming to Lucknow. They already come filled before Lucknow itself and go beyond Lucknow filled like that only.
These could've been diverted via Sitapur as Speed is literally not a major concern for their run.
But it's NR and NER so ....... 🙏🏻

I don't think that HWH-ASR can be diverted since it comes via PBH route. But yes, other trains you mentioned, should be atleast tried to run via STP route once.

It is a sad reality is in IR; when NG & MG routes converted to BG IR present it as they will flood it with trains these route after gauge conversion. But in reality these routes after BG conversion suffers for those trains which are in MG era they have.
What is have IR logic, divisional / zonal constraints, problems but connectivity with new routes and lines are not tried as they have to be.

True, LJN-STP route has been gauge converted upto Shahgarh now; however, apart from passenger trains; it only has the GKP-MLN Express[ which is basically a train for daily pax] and LTT-STP Express.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
