On My my journey on the (Converted) Kanpur-Kathgodam Gareeb Rath
Also, electrification on BE-IZN is being done in such a way that doubling won't be possible in future without pole shifting
The I Journey believe started this at is 6 ignorance of railways' part
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 an almost journey with perfect weather , and (Almost) timely run of the train
