That is true. Lucknow folks will still prefer the Shatabdi simply because it takes them to the main station and reaches somewhat earlier. But the stoppages must be reduced. Phaphund is just digging salt in the wound. It should run with only CNB and GZB as stops[ original run in the late 80s and 90s only had CNB as a stop].
please wait...Translate to HindiYeh sach hai. Lucknow ke log ab bhi Shatabdi ko hi pasand karenge, kyunki woh unhein main station tak le jaati hai aur thoda jaldi pahunchti hai. Lekin rukne kam honi chahiye. Phaphund sirf chote mote baato par tel dal raha hai. Sirf CNB aur GZB rukne wali train chalni chahiye [late 80s aur 90s mein toh sirf CNB rukti thi].
