My recent journey on the (Converted) Kanpur-Kathgodam Gareeb Rath. The train was relatively empty(around 70% occupancy). Maybe route should be changed back to via Rampur to increase PAX. Everything looks amazing in the rainy season 😍.
The Journey started at 6.35 am , 20 mins late from CNB on a wonderful monsoon morning with light drizzling rain and a cool breeze. View from the Ganga bridge was amazing. Journey till LKO was smooth and the train touched speeds upto 100 KMPH .
The loco reversal took place at LKO and that is

where the train was made to stay a bit longer at LKO because of priority to some Chitrakoot-intercity (But that runs on LKO - CNB route so I'm not sure why our train was stopped on outer of LKO while leaving).Had it been a GR , it would have been given better priority.
From LKO to SPN and BE , the journey was smooth and timely . The train was given priority over ALD-BE express , and one more train , which was seen waiting for KGM express to overtake on some platform. The compartment was fairly empty throughout which gave a comfortable journey. The condition of sleeper coaches was also decent.
Train reached BE around 1 hr late around 12.50.Since this train doesn't take too much time between BE and IZN (While the GR when coming from KGM takes 1 hour :D ). I decided to take the ride till IZN. The train moved fairly fast within Bareilly and i could see electrification poles already fixed between BC and IZN.
Also, electrification on BC-IZN is being done in such a way that doubling won't be possible in future , because the space took by earlier MG lines is now taken by the poles, a sign of bad future planning. I have seen similar things in Farrukhabad. Overall it was a perfect journey with perfect weather , and (Almost) timely run of the train.

No. That is the line that comes under IZN division and is a single track. Doubling can be done between Bareilly Junction and bhojipura as there the track diverges into two parts , so as to enable timely operations.

GR hone se farak nhi padhta priority pe.
GR bhi empty hi chlti thi nearly. and ALD-BE ke uppr priority sbko milti h 🤣
and your wait after leaving LJN was due to non clearance of Down Main Line, since trains coming from LJN needs to cross the dwn Main Line to come onto Up LKO-MB Main Line. and all know that LKO pe morning me 12 bje tk DWN Main Line pe back to back trains chlti h

The track is already doubled, one track is BRY-BC by underpass.
Other is BE-BC by flyover, so it's doubled.

Uski bhi long story hai. Pehle there was no track at underpass then NR used to make trains wait at BC since they didn't give clearance for their tracks . So doubling till BC is just by chance and not proper 'Doubling' By NER.
