Useful Useful Agree Useful Great Useful:Hail NR LKO Div. Great
A surprise visit from Shri Satish Kumar, current member of Railway Board and future Chairman of Railway Board to Prayag Jn and Phaphamau Jn exposes the incompetence of NR Lucknow division. They are severely lacking behind in completing railway projects related to Mahakumbh which is about to be held in 150 days and moreover have destroyed the minimum facilities they provide to the passengers of these two stations.

Recently GM NR visited Prayagraj and expressed his disappointment with the speed of work going on here, current Railway Board Chairperson Jaya Sinha also...

expressed her frustration over the work of NR Lko and yet after so many high level officers scolding DRM NR he isn't able to improve things here.

One example of NR incompetence is that they blocked Annie Besant road for making an underpass in Nov,2023 and claimed it will be completed by Feb 28, 2024 and after 6 months delay they're yet to achieve 70% target, funny thing is NER managed to build 2 underpasses Jhunsi side in about 6 months and they are also not known for speedy work.

It's high time NR Lko transfers every station in Prayagraj district to NCR and honestly maybe the whole division should be transferred to NCR or NER.

Just another frustrated rant about NR Lko's work culture.

In my opinion railways should make future train sets with this coach composition 6 general class coaches including luggage loading capacity , 6 sleeper coaches , 8 ac class coaches ( which can include third ac or second ac or first ac or can be a mixture of these coaches ) and ( either 1 ac coach or 2 ac coaches can be removed to add pantry car coach and extra luggage coach ) so 6+6+8 total 20 and 2 electric locos ( 1 at front side of whole trainset and 1 at back side of the whole trainset ) so 20 +2 total 22 coaches , so that instead of giving lhb rakes to some trains which runs on a longer path railways should directly convert those mail or express or superfast express trains into these trains sets and cost of making lhb coaches will also be reduced or...

saved due to directly conversion of mail or express train into train sets and rake reversal time of many trains will be reduced cost of doing rake reversal of a train will also be reduced ( due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) and speed of all trains can be increased (due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) . Please give your opinion on this but please don't give any argument related to politics so that i can save my post from getting archived.

Or either railways can apply this coach composition in in some upcoming amrit bharat express trains so that we can get see that whether this coach composition for train sets will become a successful idea or will become waste idea.

उत्तर रेलवे में सबसे ज्यादा बेकार काम अगर कहीं हो रहा है तो वो है जंघई जंक्शन से निकलने वाली तीनों लाइन (जंघई - फाफामऊ, जंघई - प्रतापगढ़, जंघई जाफराबाद) पिछले 5 से 6 साल से इस रूट पर डबल लाइन बनाई जा रही है, जो कि अब तक पूरा ना हो सका। जो लोग भी उसके आस-पास रहते हैं कृपया वहां के कार्य के बारे में जानकारी जरूर दें। 5 से 6 साल में न जाने कितने रूट का दोहरीकरण के साथ विद्युतीकरण भी हो गया, लेकिन जंघई से निकलने वाली ये तीनों लाइनों का पिछले 5 6 साल से काम हो रहा है जो कि अब तक पूरा नहीं हो सका। रेलवे को इस पर ध्यान देने की जरूरत है।
~~धन्यवाद🙏🙂...
