Does anyone know the mps of ON-ALD section? I won't be surprised if they are still using semaphore signalling. But seriously, IR should double this section, upgrade the mps of tracks to 130 kph and DIVERT trains from the main line. Trains like "Prayagraj Express" that originate from ALD can easily be diverted via this line since they basically run with hardly any stop.

Re# 6145675-31              
I once took this route via Triveni express. That train is awfully slow, takes almost 6 hrs, twice the time of the VB. The mps of this route is only 110 kph, I think and until some years earlier some part of it on RBL-Prayag stretch was semaphore signalling.

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.

Re# 6173136-24              
How is the existing infrastructure at these 2 stations? Not too long ago, it used to be on semaphore signalling, I think [when PYGS wasn't built and Prayag Ghat existed in it's place]. Also, a long time ago, but there was a bridge collapse in Allahabad railway premises during a major festival, right?

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
