Antyodaya Express: The best a common man can get. - Vikas Kumar

Gorakhpur is the HQ of NER, hence no surprise that more trains run from GKP than LKO/LJN. Allahabad lies on the main NDLS-HWH route which was once the most important route in India connecting the capital with the 'old capital' of the British Empire. In fact you could argue that Mughalsarai probably has equivalent hedge as Lucknow simply because of it's status as a large branching point and proximity to Varanasi.
