Railway authorities have decided to change the routes of five trains from the Bhopal Division in the last week of June. This decision comes because of doubling and non-interlocking work happening between Maa Belha Devi Dham Pratapgarh and Janghai in the Lucknow Division of Northern Railway. Passengers traveling on these routes will face changes in their journey paths.
Which trains are affected and what are the new routes?
The diversion affects several express trains running from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus to various destinations. The details of the route changes are as follows:
| Train Number | Train Name | Diversion Route/Dates |
|---|---|---|
| 15017 | LTT-Gorakhpur Express | Prayagraj-Prayagraj Rambagh-Banaras (June 27-29) |
| 11055 | LTT-Gorakhpur Express | Phaphamau-Pratapgarh-Sultanpur-Ayodhya Cantt |
| 11059 | LTT-Chhapra Express | Phaphamau-Pratapgarh-Sultanpur-Ayodhya Cantt |
| 15182 | LTT-Mau Express | Phaphamau-Pratapgarh-Sultanpur-Ayodhya Cantt |
| 22103 | LTT-Ayodhya Cantt Express | Phaphamau-Pratapgarh-Sultanpur-Ayodhya Cantt |
How will this impact the passengers?
Due to these route changes, trains will not stop at important stations like Janghai, Jaunpur, Shahganj, Bhadohi, and Phulpur. This will cause inconvenience to passengers who usually board or get off at these stations. There is also a possibility of increased travel time and more crowd in the trains during this period.
Railway officials stated that once the doubling work is complete, train movement on this section will become smoother and provide better facilities to passengers in the future. They have asked passengers to check their train status on NTES, Rail Madad 139, or the official railway website before starting their journey.
