Great Great Great Great Great Great:write-up. Great:Playing with saloon and alcos 😂 Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great
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.

Re# 6166680-23              
Thank you so much :)

I was kind of annoyed by this because literally all the PFs were empty and the train was still held at the outers.

Not exactly till Varanasi outer,...
more...
but yeah, till Jaunpur City outer. After that, although we halted quite a lot, the train never crawled and attained MPS every time. The MPS is still 110kmph, and that's what surprised me the most.

Agree:That's what surprised me, too!
Yes yes such things does happen in our region as well. All platforms will be free but for reasons unknown, the train gets detained at the home signal or somewhere before.
.
The reason for my question was, despite being a 110 kmph MPS route, maintaining 100 kmph avg is really a big deal.

Are you a school going child? If not, stop behaving like one.

Not that NCR/PRYJ is any good, but it's a thousand times better than NR/LKO. For sure, there are operational constraints, but NR slept until it became problematic. And still, they haven't done anything significant to alleviate the issue.

LKO...
more...
division itself is a havoc. It's a miracle that it's still functioning. PRYJ mainline is way over saturated, even with the DFC functioning. Almost all the trains are SF with minimal slacks and aggressive TTs. Have you seen the slack before LKO. For some trains, that's enough to make a round-trip to LKO.

Even with heavy slacks and almost zero loco reversals, LKO manages to delay trains massively. Lucknow as a city is better, no doubt. But as a station or even a division, it'd be better if you stop comparing it to anything else, well, maybe except for the MB division. That's far worse.
