Mr. Vinay , any idea about the Doubling Status of BSB - ALD Route ?? I have heard that this route is via Jhangai Jn - Gyanpur Road - Allahabad City (ALN ?) . Just like trains go from MGS to ALD usually via Mirzapur (MZP ?) as it's a shorter route compared to via BSB - Kashi , similarly a shorter route should be designed between Mirzapur & Lucknow , so that "Superfast" trains like Himgiri Exp or Punjab Exp can use it like a Superfast Corridor Bypass Line . Like this time can be saved by avoiding the slow speed MGS - BNS - SLN - LKO Line . Such a Superfast Rail Corridor can be built on the lines of the Sarona Bypass which HWH - CSTM Duronto Exp uses to avoid touching Raipur Jn . This rail corridor should not have a single station & should be...
more... a Double Track Fully Electrified Route with tracks suitable for 170 Kmph Speed Tolerance . Another such route suitable for such type of a corridor can be between Gomoh Jn and Patna Saheb . By this , trains can avoid the slow & robbery proned Jasidih - Madhupur Route . Another route can be between Dankuni & Panagarh to avoid Bardhamman (BWN) . Thanks .
