Due to a mega block between Gorakhpur and Gonda on Tuesday and Wednesday, some train platforms at Gorakhpur station have been changed. 22 trains have been canceled and the routes of 15 have been altered.

days. In case of crowding in the evening, trains from platform number two may be shifted to another available platform. The Vaishali express, traveling from Saharsa to New Delhi, and the Barauni-New Delhi Special will depart from platform number two on September 3rd and 4th. The New Jalpaiguri-New Delhi Express will depart from platform number two or three depending on availability. Other platforms remain unchanged, although adjustments may occur in case of crowding in the evening. The implementation of this route block system allows for multiple train operations between the two stations. This will result in increased efficiency and improved train arrival times. A 50-day block on platform number eight of Gorakhpur Railway Station for a washable apron ended on Monday, September 2nd. The Gorakhdham Express from Bathinda arrived at platform number eight on Monday morning, and multiple other trains were subsequently operated from this platform. Mumbai and Pune trains will begin operations from this platform starting Tuesday.

Saharsa se New Delhi jaane wali Vaishali aur Barauni-New Delhi Special 3 aur 4 September ko platform number do se chalegi. New Jalpaiguri-New Delhi Express ko platform number do ya three se chalane ki plan hai, availability ke basis par. Dusre platforms par koi badlav abhi tak nahi hai, lekin shaam ko agar trains ki bheed hoti hai toh kuch trains ka platform badal bhi sakta hai. Route block system ke lagne se, do stations ke beech aage-peeche bahut saare trains chal sakti hai. Isse efficiency badhega aur trains ka station par pahunchne ka time bhi sahi hoga. Gorakhpur railway station ke platform number aath pe 50 din ka block, jo ki washable apron ke liye tha, 2 September ko khatam ho gaya. Bathinda se aane wali Gorakhdham Express, Monday subah platform number aath pe rukti hai, aur is platform se bahut saare trains chalti hai. Mangalwar se Mumbai aur Pune ki trains is platform se chalegi.
