line between Gorakhpur and Barabanki. To accommodate the change, trains will stop at Jagatbela instead of Domingarh. The construction of the third line is progressing, with sections between various stations already being built and trial runs completed. A feasibility study for a new 85-km long third line between Khalilabad and Baitalpur is underway, with a budget of 1.20 crores already allocated. The third line will allow for increased train speed and frequency, eliminating unnecessary stops at Outer, Domingarh, Nakaha, and Cantt stations for passenger trains traveling between Lucknow, Gorakhpur, and Bihar. This will improve the overall efficiency of the Barabanki-Gorakhpur-Chhapra rail route, which is currently operating with 1.5 times its capacity, causing delays and hindering the operation of new trains.

The construction of a third railway line between Lucknow and Chhapra via Barabanki and Gorakhpur is underway. Track laying has started in some sections, while surveys are ongoing in others. The third line will improve train frequency and speed, facilitating faster travel between these cities. Trial runs have been completed...

for the third line between Cantt and Kusmhi (11 km). Surveys are underway between Chhapra and Deoria, and between Khalilabad and Baitalpur (85 km). The budget for this project has been released. The construction of the third line between Gonda and Burhwal is also underway. Once completed, trains travelling from Lucknow to Bihar via Gorakhpur will no longer need to stop at Domingaarh, Nakha, and Cantt stations, allowing faster passage for both passenger and freight trains. Additionally, the Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) inspected the Lucknow-Sultanpur and Shri Krishna Nagar rail sections to ensure proper maintenance and track safety, particularly focusing on track monitoring and repairs due to the extreme heat.
