Hamsafar...
more... Express Trains (Fully 3rd AC and derived from GR Exp concept)
Fully Unreserved SF Trains (derived from Jan-Sadharan concept)
Factory for manufacturing of locos with attached toilets
Baby products like warm milk/water etc. at the stations
Electric Loco Shed Proposal at Gorakhpur
Track Doubling/Tripling of various UP Routes like Janghai - Amethi - Rae Bareli & Jaunpur - Faizabad
