About two dozen trains were rerouted, and two were canceled. Officials and rescue trains arrived from Lucknow, Hardoi, and Balamu Junction.

Over two dozen trains were delayed for seven to eight hours.
In Lucknow, passengers at Charbagh, Lucknow Junction, Aishbagh, Badshahnagar, and Gomtinagar railway stations were stranded while waiting for trains.
