Station Pf allocation information.
There are total 4 platforms at BE and additional 2 Pf which were earlier MG Pf (adjoining to Pf 4) are being in conversion process, so that longer-bigger BG trains could be allocated there.
Pf 1: All the Shahjahanpur/Lucknow side going trains come on this Pf only. There is no other Pf for this side train. So if some saturation occurs, then trains has to wait at BE outer stations (majority case with special train) till Pf 1 gets vacant.
