DADN-KYQ Express, NR/LKO ka Aatank.

So, for some urgent work, I had to return home to Varanasi from Lucknow. The original plan was to return via Ekatmata Express, but due to some unforeseen circumstances with my Thar, I had to return back from midway to the station.

So,...
more...
another hour, another plan. The 19305, DADN-KYQ Express suited me the best, so I booked the tickets in current availability. Hopped on an Uber and that was the fastest commute in my entire journey, reached Charbagh from Ekana in just over 20 minutes.

The train was on time till Kanpur, and as soon as it entered NR, it instantly got late. Still, I hoped the delay would not exceed 45 minutes. But the great NR/LKO. They were playing with a GM saloon and two ALCos on the PF-2 where the train was supposed to be received.

Shaheed Express was taken on the vacant PF-3 first, and when the ALCos finally got done with the parking simulator, Bagh Express was received on PF-2. And while it was a pleasant surprise to see coach display indicators on LKO, they were working with a mind of their own. Data of my still nowhere to be seen train was displayed while Bagh was on PF-2. And that of Shaheed started being displayed after it's departure.

Finally, after a delay of 1.5 hours, the train arrived on PF-3 and departed after accumulating a few more minutes of delay. But here comes something I hadn't expected from NR/LKO even in my dreams. The train reached SLN in around 1hr 20min, averaging more than 100kmph. And covered SLN-JOP in around 50 minutes, again an average of 100kmph. Now I was sure, we'd reach Varanasi before 11:30.

And then started typical NR behavior. The train was halted at every station to let the freights gain some progress, even though we were still late, officially. And finally the train was halted at Babatpur because operational block was taken. A totally avoidable situation, had they run the train on the schedule it was running.

The train halted there for almost an hour. Another block was scheduled if the previous one didn't work (they were welding the tracks), and exactly the same thing happened. But somehow we were allowed to proceed, supposedly because the train was full of people appearing for some exam, and they got agitated. The train was halted yet again at Shivpur and Varanasi outers.

At this point I was so annoyed, I deboarded and started walking towards the station. I boarded back when the train started crawling towards the station. Finally it reached BSB around 2 hours late. ½ hour of gained delay, even with a track-burning run, and a heavy slack in last 50km.

You can trust a wolf to guard the sheep, but can't trust NR to reach somewhere on time. Attached here are some pictures I took while waiting for my train. Well, except for the train I was traveling in.

P.S. Farakka is still displayed as MLDT-NDLS at BSB. And while the train boards are still printed and handwritten, CDO/KIR has taken extra steps to paint ER again wherever it had been peeled off. They're surely reading some blogs here.

Kumud.

Agree
DDU has improved quite a lot after the DFC got functional. Same goes for PRYJ to some extent. CNB and GZB have to manage the incompetence of LKO/MB divisions, too, so I can excuse them.

But on a serious note these stations are on one of the busiest mainline of India, and still they manage the traffic quite smoothly, given the fact they're major junctions.
...
more...

BSB spent crores on yard remodeling, LKO has a bypass line for freights. Still the situation is same, trains on outers and vacant PFs. NR even went a step ahead to ensure trains get delayed at NER, too, by not allowing block for the second line between MKG-LJN. They just make plans, which for obvious reasons don't work out eventually.

One of the main reason is that train yards needs replanning for entry and exits of trains. Signals needs major upgradation.

No need to shout like that. I think I can read normally written posts, too.

If you've had read the original post, that's the exact thing I've mentioned. And the answer to your second question is that even after the 'remodeling', they haven't connected all the PFs to all the lines.

If...
more...
someone's traveling on the DDU-BSB route it's their bad luck if they're a long distance traveler, or plain stupidity if they can avoid the section and still haven't.

Also, the thing you're ranting about BSB 'division', BSB very much falls under the 'revered' LKO division you're talking about. Varanasi division is a different entity under NER, which has nothing to do about BSB or the BSB-LKO line(s).

So, please, stop doing the 'locality' politics here. I know it very well, kaun sa station kitne paani me hai.

Re# 6166680-19              
Agree. But the major question is whether they want to do that or not. A lot of stations have undergone yard remodelings and I've felt the difference while traveling there the next time.

But, if they want to do it like how they did in BSB, they better stick to the old way. It'll lead to nothing except wastage of capital and months of inconvenience to passangers. Also at LKO, crossing over to LJN creates a major hurdle in smooth flow given the increasing traffic in NER.
