new VB from Ayodhya to Varansi , it means LKO PNBE VB will move through Sultanpur ... that's great ! .. Kashi Varanasi VB , can be extended to LKO or MB in the future..

It may be GTNR-BCY VB I guess. GTNR-AYC-AY-SHG-BSB-BCY. 318 kms

Why start VB from Gomti Nagar when you can start it from Lucknow Jn? More people will board from LJN or BNZ than GTNR. Unless IR wants to artificially decrease time taken on paper like they did with JP VB by starting it from DEC instead of DLI/NDLS, it doesn't make sense.

GTNR is being remade as a Big terminus. Currently the Firm doing that work, my sis is part of that firm. She is in Lucknow now

Yes, I am aware of that. Massive construction work going on at GTNR. But the station is still tucked away in one part of the city. Not connected via Metro unlike BNZ or LKO/LJN. The few trains that do stop here, only see a trickledown in terms of passengers. The station, as of now, hasn't matured enough. It might some years down the line, but until couple of months ago, it barely had a single shop at the whole station.
