This train should be named as Lucknow Mail. Reason: it spends 2+ hrs in Lucknow area on both sides and has SIX stops in the city. Even express trains bound for big cities like Delhi make their way out of the city in ~4 - 5 stops. But six stops is absolutely humongous.
On a lighter note, from LJN-MLN, the SL and GN section is full but AC is generally mostly vacant. It is mostly used by loop line passengers on GKP-LJN as an overnight train. I also find it intriguing...
more... that the GKP-Barhni-LJN went from being not connected or only connected upto GD via MG and non AC coaches to a train that has 13 AC coaches in such a short span of time. I am curious to know how much higher is the demand for SL class in this train vis a vis AC.
Honestly, I would have preferred 10 AC coaches in this train and augmentation of SL/GN coaches. I am sure that would have helped both the passengers on loop line and also, the daytime passengers on LJN-STP-MLN.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo! This train should defo be called Lucknow Mail. Here's why: it chills for like 2+ hours in Lucknow both ways and hits up SIX stops in the city. Most big shots heading to places like Delhi make it out in 4-5 stops, but nope, this one's got six stops on lock.
On a side note, from LJN-MLN, the sleeper and general sections are packed, but the AC carriages are usually pretty empty. It's mostly for folks doing the loop from GKP-LJN as an overnighter. Also, isn't it wild how the GKP-Barhni-LJN route went from barely connected or only connected to GD via MG with no AC carriages to now having a whopping 13 AC carriages in no time? I'm so curious about how much the demand for sleeper class trumps AC in this train.
Honestly, personally, I would have gone for 10 AC carriages in this train and more sleeper/general coaches. I bet it would help both the loop line riders and the peeps traveling LJN-STP-MLN during the day.
please wait...Translate to HindiVoh train ko Lucknow Mail naam dena chahiye. Reason: Voh Lucknow area mein dono taraf se 2+ ghante bitati hai aur sheher mein chaar stops hai. Express trains jo bade shehron jaise Delhi ke liye jaati hain woh sheher se ~4 - 5 stops mein bahar nikalti hain. Par sheher mein chaar stops hona bilkul bada hai. 😐\[newline\]Thoda mazak mein, LJN-MLN se SL aur GN section full hota hai par AC zyadatar khali hota hai. Iska zyadatar istemal GKP-LJN ke loop line yatriyon dwaara raat bhar ki train ke taur par hota hai. Mujhe hairat hoti hai ki GKP-Barhni-LJN pehle connect nahi tha ya sirf GD tak connect tha via MG aur non AC coaches, ab usne itni kam samay mein 13 AC coaches wali train ban gayi. Mujhe janna hai ki is train mein SL class kitni zyada demand hai AC ke comparison mein. 😮\[newline\]Sach kahun toh, maine is train mein 10 AC coaches aur SL/GN coaches ka vadran pasand kiya hota. Main sure hoon ki yeh loop line par yatriyon aur LJN-STP-MLN ke daytime yatriyon dono ka madad karta. 🚂
