After reviewing my gallery, I found some photos of platform number 2 at BSB, where the BSBS-GKP Intercity was just going to arrive. This isn't a festive or examination-related crowd; it's just the usual daily rush. (Plus, it already comes half full from BSBS and then after BSB, gets a lot of rush from BCY too) It's remarkable how crowded trains from the neighboring districts to Varanasi can get. UPSRTC operates a bus every 10 minutes from Varanasi to Prayagraj, Azamgarh, Ghazipur, Gorakhpur, Jaunpur and other districts, maintaining a good frequency. Yet, despite this, the trains are still overcrowded.It's quite disheartening...

Looking at LKO, I'm convinced that arrivals and departures at BSB is much better sorted out. The whole station may be deserted sans the spare coaches and ALCos, still they manage to strand the train for hours.This is the sole reason I used to avoid NR route and board from DDU. But no alternatives now, and I'd tolerate this more than driving 300km. Also the tracks are such that you can't differentiate between an LHB and ICF coach.The tracks are still 110kmph capable, that's the best we can expect from NR. But yeah, even I was quite surprised. I noted the...
DADN-KYQ Express, NR/LKO ka Aatank.So, for some urgent work, I had to return home to Varanasi from Lucknow. The original plan was to return via Ekatmata Express, but due to some unforeseen circumstances with my Thar, I had to return back from midway to the station.So, another hour, another plan. The 19305, DADN-KYQ Express suited me the best, so I booked the tickets in current availability. Hopped on an Uber and that was the fastest commute in my entire journey, reached Charbagh from Ekana in just over 20 minutes.The train was on time till Kanpur, and as soon as it entered...
