Operational Updates and Past Diversions

Rail authorities ensure that continuous connectivity is maintained across the long-distance route. Due to essential infrastructure maintenance work in July 2026, the train was temporarily rerouted between Malhaur and Manak Nagar, operating via Kanpur Central, Farrukhabad, and Kasganj instead of Lucknow Charbagh. Passengers are advised to check updated schedules before planning their journey.
