Amidst the possibility of a large number of people going to Prayagraj for Maha Kumbh, Railways has started the exercise of operating 50 MEMU trains via Kanpur. MEMU will be run to reduce congestion in premium, superfast and daily trains and to save passengers of AC coaches from trouble during Mahakumbh. 50 MEMUs have been ordered from Prayagraj, Jhansi and Agra divisions in MEM carshed of Kanpur.
These will be maintained in the car shed and will be sent on different routes. These trains will go to Prayagraj via Kanpur. MEMU will start arriving from December 15th. Railway staff have been instructed to prepare for this. According to the information, Central Station is an intermediate station where trains from Mumbai, Ahmedabad and South India region come from Jhansi route. Similarly, trains from Gorakhpur, Basti, Bahraich, Rae Bareli, Meerut reach Central via Lucknow.
Passengers from Jammu Kashmir and Punjab come via Delhi route. For this reason, Central Station is being made the center of operation of MEMU trains. MEMU will be run everywhere from here. This includes normal MEMU as well as superfast MEMU. ACM Santosh Kumar Tripathi told that MEMU will start arriving from December 15. They will be completely repaired before operation, so that there is no problem of any kind. On the occasion of Mahakumbh, superfast MEMU will be operated on many routes.
