This train doesn't have any stops between Sultanpur and Varanasi, and it's running at full speed. So wouldn't it be better to have a halt at Pratapgarh and then go via Bhadohi, Pratapgarh, Sultanpur, and Nihalgarh, taking it to Lucknow Charbagh?
In support of this idea, my arguments are:
1. The convenience of trains from Mathura and Kota via Pratapgarh.
2. It will reduce the pressure of Varanasi Jafarabad.
3. There will be no need to change the timings of other stations besides Sultanpur and Nihalgarh.
4. This route will be only 307 km long, and there won't be a need for loco reversal anywhere.

Is train ke Sultanpur se Varanasi ke beech mein koi theharav nahi hai, aur bora bhar ke slack diya gaya hai, toh kya yeh uchit nahi hoga ki ise Pratapgarh par theharav dekar via Bhadohi, Pratapgarh, Sultanpur, Nihalgarh hote hue Lucknow Charbagh le jaaya jaaye? Is vichar ke samarthan mein mere tark hai: 1. Pratapgarh se Mathura, Kota ki train ki suvidha. 2. Varanasi Jafarabad ka dabav bhi kam hoga. 3. Sultanpur aur Nihalgarh ke alava baaki stations ke samay mein parivartan ki zaroorat nahi padegi. 4. Yeh route keval 307 kilometer lamba hoga aur kahin bhi loco reversal ki zaroorat nahi padegi.

Shit went down with a dude on the Kota Patna Express between Gahmar and Buxar. 😐
