DONT FOGET TO LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE ABOUT THE JOURNEY:- After a very warm and humid day of visiting Hariwar and Rishikesh I was completely blown away by that HOT day and got high fever.We had our tickets confirmed in beloved Kumbha Express which happens to be the fastest train enroute providing high speed connectivity with heavy punctuality, priority and reliability(quite less although compared to Doon and Janta Express). We reached station right near the departure of Janta Express which happens to be the first train to depart towards Lucknow in that busy night slot at 8.35PM hauled by LKO alco and reaches Lucknow first taking 11.10hours for 493km at avg of 44km/hr. It leads the trail of trains from Haridwar comprising of Janta itself, Doon Express and Kumbha Express/Upasna Express. After the departure of Janta the next number was o legend Doon Express at 10.30PM taking 10.05 hours for 493km. An the last turn was of Kumbha Express which is undisputed KING of that route being the only Superfast connectivity to Haridwar it takes 8.25 hours for 493km with only two haults at Moradabad and Bareilly(beleive me it really does skip other big stations) at an avg of 58km/hr. As soon as we started our journey at 11.50 PM midnight lights where turned off and RPF/GRP and Pantry staff kept going on rounds at periodic intervals to ensure everything is fine. We were instatly at MPS skipping stations at MPS and HWH p4 kept on screaming and dangerously sparking visble on bushes on rail sides. We approached Laksar Junction 5 mins late due to TSR and skipped it in one go, later from here i was adviced by pantry staff to kindly ensure my safety myself and i decided to take a sleep keeping RF on aeroplane mode with battery at 20% the berths side didnt had any charging sockets only available near doors. I had a tight sleep due to medicine. i was covered in blanket, feeling cold while other males where in their "बनियान's" suffering from warm night. Woke up while our train haulted at Moradabad Station, late by 10 minutes i did not feel like stressing myself to know more things happening around and seeing clock I again went into the lap of sleep.and finally woke up just when out train crossed Bareilly Junction late by 30 mins. It was quite hot morning although just 5 AM. The situations just turned worst for me and I was now feeling very restless with badly aching body and torturing head ache I no more could resist myself to be awake and experience this RUN !! Battery was now just 15% and other co pax where happily fast asleepwith the Middle berths still opened forcing me to do RF leaning on my Lower Berth which has caused window grills to interrupt videos later reason being Safety of Mobile because this route is heavily prone to Dackoits, Chain Snatching and Mobile Snatching at MPS too. Burning in fever i fecthed my mobile and started RF. We skipped Shahjahanpur which is a big station of that route late by 30 minutes. we skipped by Pf-2 which was on my side(crossing side) while i had no idea of which trains where ahead of us due to no internet connection, it came as a shock when i saw Doon Express looped on Pf-1 at Shahjahanpur with TKD EMD, a train which departed 1.30 hours before us got overtaken that too in Moradabad Division which is known for its POOR Trailing Controlling. After SPN we had some other major Stations to skip for the likes of ROZA, Hardoi and Balamau where we manged to not to accumulate further delays. once we skipped Hardoi everything was clear for us we kept cruising at MPS getting through runs at all stationsand all green signals we rushed into Kakori Junction 10 mins early at 7.55 AM. Yet again to my Surprise we where haulted parallel to Janta Express which departed around 4hrs before us from Haridwar. Kakori Jn. is the last station under jurisdiction of Moradabad Division later where Lucknow Division starts. Now it was really interesting for me to see the Priority and mindset of LKO Controllers after awesome priority by MB Controllers. Hardly 1 minute passed of the only unsceduled hault in BE-LKO section, the P4 honked and we moved ahead of Janta Express(the Home Zone train) not to forget which departed 4 hours prior to us. From the last train in trail from Haridwar to Lucknow now we where the first to reach Lucknow. From Bareilly to Kakori Jn. we did 220 km in 175 minutes at a FABULOUS avg of 76 km/hr. We arrived Lucknow RT doing 235 km in 200 mins at an avg of 72 km/hr making it one of my most memorable journeys with HEAVY priority by both LKO/MB Divisions keeping in mind Moradabad Division was struggling those days in keeping trains delayed by less than 1 hour.
