Extend operation of Lucknow Ujjain special train up to city
Railway experts and local residents have demanded that operation of Lucknow-Ujjain-Lucknow special train should be extended up to the city. This will help in reducing the excessive load of Indore-Patna train.
Railways has proposed a new special train between Lucknow and from 21st September to 29th November.. Its schedule has also been released. However, regarding the running of this train between Lucknow and Ujjain, the railway expert said, the big question is why this train is not being run from the city.
