There is a rush for confirmed tickets in long distance trains. Passengers travelling up to 250-300 km find it difficult to get confirmed tickets. The biggest problem is on Delhi-Bareilly-Lucknow, Lucknow-Bareilly-Dehradun routes. There are many big stations on these routes which are also important for business and industrial activities. A large number of daily commuters also travel.
For running short distance fast trains, the railway has identified Bareilly-Delhi, Bareilly-Lucknow, Bareilly-Dehradun, Bareilly-Agra routes. A survey will also be conducted on Kathgodam-Lucknow, Lalkuan-Lucknow routes for running short distance fast trains.
