More than 30 trains will either be diverted or operated from stations outside the city during the block, while several MEMU and passenger trains will have their journeys curtailed. The railway has also changed the platforms of 64 trains at Charbagh, officials said.

According to Samarth Gupta, senior divisional commercial manager, Northern Railway, Lucknow division, several long-distance trains, including Kashi Vishwanath Express, Howrah-Dehradun Express, Gorakhpur-bound services, Danapur-Anand Vihar and Archana Express, will be operated through alternative routes such as Utratia-Transport Nagar-Alamnagar and Malhaur-Aishbagh-Manak Nagar.

Several trains connecting Prayagraj, Bareilly, Saharanpur and Yog Nagari Rishikesh will also not reach Charbagh during the block. A number of trains from Gorakhpur towards Mumbai and Gujarat will similarly originate from or pass through stations outside the main city station.

The block will particularly affect operations on platforms 2 to 7 at Charbagh. Railway officials said platform allocations for 64 trains have been revised and some platforms may be changed at short notice depending on train movement.
