पिछले कुछ महीनों में निम्न इन रूट पर कोई भी डबलिंग एवं इलेक्ट्रिफिकेशन का कुछ बदलाव होते हुए नहीं दिख रहा है--

1- शाहगंज से फरिहा
2- सठियांव से मऊ
3- मऊ से सादात
...
more...

4- कीड़ीहरापुर से पीओकोल
5- इंदारा से रसड़ा

वाराणसी मंडल में यही रेल रूट डबल होना बाकी है, जिसमें सबसे जरूरी है भटनी से औड़िहार तक डबल होना, क्योंकि ये गोरखपुर से वाराणसी की मेन लाइन है। अगर आपको इसके काम होने की स्थिति के बारे में कोई जानकारी है तो कृपया जरूर बताएं। धन्यवाद🙏
