Today 02-Jan-2017 no news pertaining to gauge conversion of Sitapur (STP) - Aishbagh (ASH) section. If sources to be believe GM NER ask RVNL, company responsible for GC, to complete by 31-Mar-2017 so that in month of Apr;2017 broad gauge train can be started on Sitapur (STP) - Aishbagh (ASH) section. Same time its still not clear if NER would do electrification for said section so that MEMU can be started however cards are yet to get open.
This Sitapur (STP) - Aishbagh (ASH) section would really going to help NER to reduce traffic congestion specially for LKO/LJN.
Countdown...
