The route of this train seems to be quite illogical. It could have originated from Pratapgarh and followed the route Pratapgarh- Amethi - Raebareli- Lucknow- Kanpur- Jhansi- Bhopal-Itarsi-Nagpur- Hyderabad- Dharamwaram- Yashwantpur. This could have shortened the route by 280 km between Lucknow and Yashwantpur. With present route, it is the slowest train with longest route between Lucknow and Yashwantpur.
Have you ever seen anything logical when it comes to politics? This circuitous route is only to bring Rae Bareli into the picture. Otherwise, the route that you had mentioned would have been chosen.
Correct, There is no point in going from Allahabad, Pratapgarh / Varanasi was the correct starting point since Allahabad already has a daily train (Sanghamitra).
Only One 3rd AC and 2nd AC ..........why??

Even with the suggested route, Raebareli, Amethi and Pratapgarh would have been touched and Allahabad and beyond is already covered by Sanghamitra Exp. The new train could have been used to provide Superfast connectivity between 2 million plus cities of Lucknow-Kanpur on one hand and Nagpur-Hyderabad-Bangalore on the other. Most of the NER trains, like this one, are very slow.
