Can someone please explain why there is an eletric trip shed of NCR at NDLS along with NR?

Also, wouldn't it be better to wall off tracks around Dayabasti and Wazirpur-Azadpur slums, than to keep a PSR and face constant threat of breach on tracks?

Re# 6105344-3              
So, it's like CNB/NCR has a satellite base for their locos at NDLS? I used to think that trip sheds are managed by the home station/zones.

Cheap politics has made Delhi suffer for basic amenities like water, so this is just a small thing compared to that. But IR can fence their own lines for safety and speed. They, too, have not done that.

I've a similar settlement enroute my home, and they behave as if they own the road. So, understandably something similar happens on the tracks. Because they know no one is going to lay a hand on them.

Yeah, I've heard about the reason that VB was initially terminated at DEC. Railways will do anything in their reach to hide the problem, instead of really solving it.

Train TTEs and attendants warned us to be cautious of our belongings while traversing in that area. I thought it was a one time event. But to my dismay, some vlogger also mentioned about the same thing while passing through there.

Yeah I suppose. I know any party don't lay their hands on them, we've anti-encroachment drives bulldozing old homes, but no one touches slums. I don't know why!

And the less we speak about Delhi government, the better. They lead them in mess they can't untangle and then start the drama of anshans.

I think the location Dayabasti and accompanying station of the same name is notorious for this. The Google Maps reviews are filled with people asking folks not to go there after dusk. I once boarded a passenger from there[during day, of course] and had a chance to see the station and it was the dirtiest thing I have seen till now. Atleast 4 cows/bulls at station entrance and then a giant garbage dump b/w PF #2 and #3.

This has enough TAT at JSME and can be extended easily upto BGP/MFP if people push for it.

BGP is still not connected with Hyderabad

Meter Gauge Chronicles. A journey in one of the last remaining mainline MG routes.

1. BRK-MLN MG Express being shunted on PF-1 of Bahraich. Meanwhile GD-BRK DEMU in background in background preparing for it's return journey.

2.

Machine, man and nature. Our train departing from the laidback settings of Manjhara Poorab.

3. Daily life and the daily commuters of the train. Most of the travellers boarded to reach their daily jobs in Risiya. Teachers, shopkeepers, nurses, policeman, peons, everyone on the train seemed to know each other.

4. A curious child looking out of the window. He kept asking his father about everything he saw. That's how I became a railfan, too.

5. Lines meeting and going deep into the Katarniaghat wildlife sanctuary.

6, 7. Traversing through the Dudhwa national park.

8. Approaching the mighty Ghaghra barrage. It was quite scary sitting on the gate and recording while the river churned below.

9. A semaphore signal and a railway employee returning after setting the signal to Stop.

10. That one's obvious. The little devil snatched my samosa and hid below the train.

11. Our pairing train going back to Bahraich, running back into the Katarniaghat sanctuary after emerging from Dudhwa.

12. A busy Nanpara Junction bustling with activity. Train halted here for almost an hour. You can go out and buy things to eat. Or you can buy bread-pakoras or samosas being freshly made on the PF. The huge old tree gives the feels of old times and may remind you of Malgudi Days.

13. The said bread-pakora. Along with the samosa it was quite delicious, although a bit oily to my liking.

14. A IZN YDM-4 stands tall at it's base, Mailani.

15. The MG yard of Mailani. You can spot a wide variety of YDM-4s, GS and Vistadome tourist coaches here. Along with a few freight vans and brake vans.

16. Located a few meters away from the station, beyond the yard is the loco maintenance shed of Mailani, most probably managed by IZN.

17. Mailani yard with all the MG coaches and locos with the coaching depot visible in the background.

18. Where MG meets electrified BG. BRK-MLN MG Express on PF-3 while my next connecting train MLN-GKP Express standing on PF-1.

I did this journey on 31/06/2022. And except LKO-GD, the entire LKO-MLN-LJN journey was on a station bought general ticket. The train was clean, washrooms were clean and were fully functional. Although same can't be said for the electrical elements.

I was also quite surprised that people boarding the train from the stations mid-jungle, too traveled with valid tickets. They were helpful and interacting with them, learning about their slow lives in remote areas was an experience in itself.

Kumud.

Probably, the Mailani-Nanpara section, because technically they can't convert it, as it passes through a wildlife sanctuary and a national park.

Or if they're only concerned with running tourist specials like other MG sections, they may even trim it short to end at Bichhia in Dudhwa, the current tourist special runs till there only.

Useful:Thank you for the information 😊
Earlier, the Gonda-05371-05355-Mailani-15010-Lucknow used to be the most effective chain, with all the trains in sync and wait times less than half an hour.

Now, with the gauge conversion, it's quite hectic. You should either reach Gonda, take a UP Roadways or auto to Nanpara, and then continue further using the same chain.

Or,
...

reach Mailani by some early morning train, take the train to Nanpara, deboard there, take a UP roadways or auto to Bahraich. Take the evening DEMU to Gonda and carry on further.

Or, just take the Tourist special to Bichhia, do a round trip back to Mailani, and take the 15010 to LJN. But this won't take you through the whole route and will be full of unmannered 'tourists'.

Please keep in mind that the journey is slow, and after the initial excitement wears off, it gets boring after the jungle ends if you're traveling solo. There is no network in the national park areas. And except for Nanpara I couldn't find anything to eat.
