Great
The Pratapgarh - Kanpur all General coaches ICE via Lucknow though the shortest route cuts via Raebareily and then via rural area. But very few trains and no express/mails take it.

Agree
There are 2 points: first is trains come upto Rae bareily then switch to the shorter rural line and merge at Unnao thus bypassing Lucknow. I think IR ought to do it for some weekly trains but LKO is such a big station that except for dedicated passengers, no train does it.

Second and what still baffles me, is the Kanpur-Unnao-Allahabad line. This line is not much longer than the main line and while the mps is ~110 only it bypasses much of the congestion. Only a passenger, ICE and one Express

runs on it. At night, it resembles a ghost area. Most trains just go straight from Kanpur to Allahabad without stopping at Fatehpur [the only major station enroute NCR], so they can in theory, be done via Kanpur-Unnao-ALD route as well. Especially for trains that end at ALD, there is every reason to use that line. IMO, the ALD Humsafar should use that line for once. It starts from there only, so it can easily be shifted to 'Prayagraj Sangam' if needed and started [and it is basically non stop till Delhi except for a Technical halt].

All IR needs to do is upgrade these lines to consistent 110+ mps and proper double them at all places.

Even some trains from HWH/DDU side maybe re-routed via this route. The added benefit will be BSB will also be included, and while PRYJ,PRG etc will be byepassed using the PFM byepass, an alternate route can be achieved.
Especially trains towards KSG side etc, that go via CNB, CPA route.

For LKO, a dedicated train must be introduced. Demand in the HWH-LKO

When using the PFM bypass, would Phaphamau station come within the train's route? Because if yes, trains can be given a halt there instead. It's not the optimum station for Allahabad but better to have a halt at outskirts than no halt at all.

No, I don't think so, PFM will be included. A separate station would have to be built to serve Prayagraj . Attached screenshot for reference.

    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...
