Very early starting time from Lucknow. Plus route is only 100 kph capable. To make it worse, more speed restrictions post Haridwar. IR could have easily introduced an overnight service b/w Lucknow and Dehradun. Would have been easier for passengers and probably more would have used it compared to an 8 Car VB.
please wait...Translate to EnglishThe train starts super early from Lucknow. And the route can only go up to 100 kph maximum. To top it off, there are even more speed limits after Haridwar. Indian Railways could have just started a night train between Lucknow and Dehradun. It would have been much easier for passengers and more people might have preferred it over an 8-coach train.
