The Northeast Railway (NER) has approved a survey for a fourth rail line between Lucknow and Gorakhpur, starting with the Gonda-Burhwal section (61 km) which will be completed in two months. This is the first section in NER to receive approval for a fourth line. The survey will be followed by...
more...
the creation of a Detailed Project Report (DPR) and subsequent funding approval, after which construction will begin. This fourth line will increase train capacity and facilitate smoother train operations. The existing third line project between Chhapra and Barabanki is progressing well, with a 11 km section between Cantt and Kusmhi already trialled. The project is expected to be completed within two years, leading to increased train speeds and frequency and eliminating unnecessary stops for passenger trains. The third line project between Gonda-Burhwal is also advancing rapidly and is expected to be completed in two years, enabling through-running of freight trains and reducing congestion at Gorakhpur junction, thus enhancing capacity and speed on the Barabanki-Gorakhpur-Chhapra route.

Northeast Railway (NER) ne Lucknow aur Gorakhpur ke beech ek section mein chauthi rail line ke survey ko approval de diya hai. Pehle phase mein Gonda se Burhwal tak 61 kilometer line ka survey shuru ho gaya hai. Do mahine mein survey complete hone ke baad DPR banai jaayegi aur phir...

project ko financial approval milegi. Ye NER ka pehla section hai jahan chauthi line ke liye survey start hua hai. Isse train ki capacity badhegi aur train chalane mein aasaan hogi. Chhapra se Barabanki ke beech third line bhi ban rahi hai aur iska 11 km ka section Cantt aur Kusmhi ke beech already trialled ho chuka hai. Gonda aur Burhwal ke beech third line bhi jaldi complete hone wali hai aur ye do saal mein complete ho jaayegi. Isse freight trains bina rukke chal payengi aur Gorakhpur Junction par load kam hoga, jisse Barabanki-Gorakhpur-Chhapra route par train ki capacity aur speed badhegi.

सिगरेट के छल्लों ने रोकी एक दर्जन ट्रेनों की रफ्तार

In the past year, over a dozen trains have been stopped due to smoke detectors activating because of passengers smoking cigarettes in LHB coaches. These incidents have occurred on trains traveling from Gorakhpur to Delhi and have caused delays of 15-25 minutes. The most recent incident happened on the Gorakhdham Express,...

where a passenger smoking in the toilet triggered the fire alarm, causing the train to stop. This led to a police case being filed against the passenger. The fire and smoke detection system is equipped with sensors that detect smoke and activate the brakes, leading to the train's stoppage. The system is designed to prevent fires, but it also triggers alarms when there's excess carbon in pantry cars. To address this issue, the North Eastern Railway has installed fire and smoke detection systems in 297 passenger coaches, 30 pantry cars, and 53 power cars. The system uses water tanks and nitrogen tanks to suppress fires. Railway officials are continually educating passengers about the ban on smoking and carrying flammable materials on trains.
