Dec 13 2020 (22:25) 19038/Avadh Express (PT) | BBK/Barabanki Junction (4 PFs)kirk781^~ 3718 blog posts
This happened over a decade ago when the section around Ghagra Pul near Barabanki used to be a single track. I was traveling via this train and it was stopped a couple of stations before Barabanki. Due to it being single track, we were subjected to numerous xings and overtakes. The train was stopped for ~1.5 hrs each at two different locations (where it had no scheduled stop). Many of the co passengers then were wondering if the train's engine had failed. It finally reached Barabanki after a delay of over three hours.
NR controlling specially prior to lko even 80 away troll very badly even if this section will have Quadruple track controlling never will improve
Talking about NR trolling, the worst I saw was when it took Himgiri express MORE time to traverse 20 kms from outskirts of Lucknow than it did for SLN-LKO stretch. My co passenger had a connecting train from LKO and we had reached LKO outers at 1930 hrs. He had to take the Gorakhdham express and was pleased that he will catch his train. But his slowly turned into a frown as the train stopped at every signal there was. Needless to say he missed his connecting train.
Totally agree despite having double line gkp lko moradabad umb section bsb sln lko section even in covid times they are not able to Maine 54 average speed as 02357 every week getting unnecessary delays in NR as controlling part will never improve I guess in the mentioned NR section
