Comments/ suggestions appreciated from Lucknow,Sultanpur,Varanasi railfans.
NOTE:
1)As per reports CRS inspection on lku-bpr-be route on 17-18 oct, then initailly kgm-be passenger local trains will run...by/after Diwali Lucknow/longer route trains from Kathgodam will be announced and will start in 2013.
2) A double rake nightly train till atleast Lucknow will definitely be there...but I think it will a waste of rakes to run them for 350 km(KGM-LKO only)....I think with new faster direct broad gauge connectivity ...a daily train from Kathgodam can atleast be run till Varanasi(650 km )...or Allahabad(550km approx)...or Kanpur (450km approx)
Time table: Varanasi City - Kathgodam (via Sultanpur)BCY*- KGM via SLN
