Images taken on my journey. Saryu is a small station with only Sitapur - Gonda passengers stopping there.

Gonda is the biggest station on GKP-LJN main line. Tracks to Bahraich and Barhni [ loop line to GKP ] cut from here.

Yes, that's possible.Basti is also quite a large and dense district. However, I have seen trains skipping Basti yet stopping at Gonda. The latter just has more platforms and I assume, a larger place for locomotives and goods trains to dock at.

A close example I can think of is Mughalsarai and Varanasi. The former is undoubtedly bigger and has a huge value in terms of railway's importance, but Varanasi is simply the bigger city.

Coming to SER, Kharagpur boasts of 12 platforms whilst Tatanagar has just 6. Though Kharagpur is just a railway town with an IIT while Tatanagar is a proper semi planned city, which was once the biggest in Jharkhand. Such absurdities exist due to 'railway towns' which were built during British Raj and can often overshadow even the bigger districts next to them.
