I was going through the U.P. map, and thought an idea about making this station as the junction station, as shown in the map. This new route can also be the alternative to congested NDLS-CNB route, especially for CNB terminating trains, coming from NDLS side.
Example Shram Shakti Express, via GZB-MB-BE-HRI-ON-CNB. This overall route may take 8 hours for a superfast, but will improve the timings for NDLS-CNB pax of this train.
Also the trains from Farukhhabad (like JP-LJN Express) can come to Hardoi directly from Farukhhabad, skipping CNB (JP-CNB section...
more... already have too many trains).
Among BSK, Vaishali, Gorakhdham etc, those take LKO-CNB-ETW-TDL route, a one or two can be diverted via LKO-HRI-FBD-SKB-TDL route. With so many trains from NDLS and Bihar to CNB, I dont think CNB will have any problem in diverting 1-2 trains.
In future, after electrification and speed upgradation of the section, Even a few Rajdhani's can also be diverted through this route.
Also, Can be an alternate NDLS-ALD route via: MB-BE-HRI-ON-UCR.
Suggestions please.
