My recent journey on the (Converted) Kanpur-Kathgodam Gareeb Rath. The train was relatively empty(around 70% occupancy). Maybe route should be changed back to via Rampur to increase PAX. Everything looks amazing in the rainy season ЁЯШН.
The Journey started at 6.35 am , 20 mins late from CNB on a wonderful monsoon morning with light drizzling rain and a cool breeze. View from the Ganga bridge was amazing. Journey till LKO was smooth and the train touched speeds upto 100 KMPH .
The loco reversal took place at LKO and that is

where the train was made to stay a bit longer at LKO because of priority to some Chitrakoot-intercity (But that runs on LKO - CNB route so I'm not sure why our train was stopped on outer of LKO while leaving).Had it been a GR , it would have been given better priority.
From LKO to SPN and BE , the journey was smooth and timely . The train was given priority over ALD-BE express , and one more train , which was seen waiting for KGM express to overtake on some platform. The compartment was fairly empty throughout which gave a comfortable journey. The condition of sleeper coaches was also decent.
Train reached BE around 1 hr late around 12.50.Since this train doesn't take too much time between BE and IZN (While the GR when coming from KGM takes 1 hour :D ). I decided to take the ride till IZN. The train moved fairly fast within Bareilly and i could see electrification poles already fixed between BC and IZN.
Also, electrification on BC-IZN is being done in such a way that doubling won't be possible in future , because the space took by earlier MG lines is now taken by the poles, a sign of bad future planning. I have seen similar things in Farrukhabad. Overall it was a perfect journey with perfect weather , and (Almost) timely run of the train.

The track is already doubled, one track is BRY-BC by underpass.
Other is BE-BC by flyover, so it's doubled.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
