Agree:bitter truth. well drafted. Agree:right said.
I took a short ride b/w LKO and Unnao on this train. And it took 30+ minutes for us to negotiate b/w Lucknow and Manak Nagar only. Even after that, the train ran at a snail's pace with multiple TSRs and didn't took speed until half the distance was over. We had covered 25 km in over an hour. It took us ~1.5 + hrs to reach Unnao Jn. Lucknow and Kanpur is being connected by an expressway, meanwhile trains are crawling in that section. To say there is an mps of this section is a misnomer because the maximum speed won't be achieved for half the duration.

There...

were some stations being renovated en route[which is a good thing]. I returned via CNB-LKO MEMU which was overtaken by PNVL-GKP Express once[ at Ajgain, I think] and then again at Amausi. Large parts of this was due to freight prioritization, increased stoppage at wayside stations[our train stopped for 10 mins for no reason at one station and 10 mins is the difference that decides whether your train will be overtaken later or not].

I don't see anyway how Vande Metro will come on these tracks. The tracks are absolutely borderline pathetic in this section. They were probably in better shape when they were first built.It's much better to shell out money for bus services b/w CNB-LJN than take a train. Check the JHS-LKO passenger. It takes 4 hrs to complete this section sometimes. Even the daily EMUs take 3 hrs regularly. From 1.5 hrs to 3 hrs, IR has made a disgrace out of this section.

I contrasted this section with LKO-RBL one where our LKO-BSBS ICE took 30 mins to route out of LKO-UTR section because why not but after that, it near constantly did 100+ with only one unscheduled stop and reached RBL 5 mins before covering ~77 km in 1 hr 15 mins. Meanwhile, even the fastest trains like VB/Shatabdi take this amount of time to cover LJN-CNB stretch which is technically 5 kms smaller.

Re# 6188926-1              
I honestly believe no more trains should be introduced in between Lucknow - Kanpur section until its made triple line or quadruple line. It's super busy stretch with abysmal low quality of tracks, with trains crawling behind each other at slow speed.

I'm pretty sure this section has now more than 150 trains running including weeklies and not including freight trains

Useful
Unnao acts as the junction point for trains going towards ALD/PRYJ [yes, another track goes towards that city from here; it's woefully neglected with only 3 services during the whole timespan of 24 hours but it exists] and Sitapur[even worse, with only 1 end to end service and cumulative of 3 services including weeklies].

Unnao: साढ़े तीन घंटे बाधित रहा कानपुर-लखनऊ रेल मार्ग, स्टेशन पर खड़ी रही बरौनी-ग्वालियर एक्सप्रेस और मेमू

Track repairs were being undertaken between Piparsand and Harouni railway stations in Unnao, causing a three-and-a-half-hour block on the Lucknow-Kanpur rail route. This resulted in the Barouni-Gwalior Express and a MEMU train being halted at Unnao station. The Kanpur-Lucknow MEMU passenger train was stranded at Unnao station from 8 pm to...

11 pm, while the Gwalior-Barouni Express, arriving at 10 pm, remained at the station for an hour. Passengers faced inconvenience due to the delays, with some opting for alternative transportation. The station master was unavailable, and the RPF ASI Lalji explained that the block was initially scheduled from 4 pm to 7:30 pm for track repairs. However, due to incomplete work, the block was extended, impacting train services between Kanpur and Lucknow.

Unnao mein Piparsand aur Harouni railway station ke beech track repair ka kaam karne ke liye saadhe teen ghante ka block liya gaya tha, jiske wajah se Lucknow-Kanpur rail route band ho gaya. Iske wajah se Barouni-Gwalior Express aur ek MEMU train Unnao station pe ruk gayi. Kanpur-Lucknow MEMU passenger train...

raat aath baje se 11 baje tak Unnao station pe khadi rahi, aur 10 baje Unnao station pahuchi Gwalior-Barouni Express ek ghante station pe khadi rahi. Train ke rukne se passengers ko pareshani hui, aur kaafi log train se utar kar dusre saadhano se apna destination tak pahunche. Station master is samay kahi nahin dikha. RPF ASI Lalji ne bataya ki track repair ke liye shaam char baje se 7:30 baje tak ka block liya gaya tha. Lekin kaam pura nahin ho paya, toh is wajah se block ka time badha diya gaya. Isse Kanpur se Lucknow aur Lucknow se Kanpur jaane wali trains jahaan ki thaan khadi rahi.
