LUCKNOW: Hundreds of passengers aboard the Barauni-Lucknow Express (Train Number 15203) found themselves stranded at Burhwal railway station in Barabanki on Wednesday. The reason behind the disruption was the departure of the train’s loco pilot, who left after completing his duty. This incident reportedly kept North Eastern Railway (NER) officials on their toes for several hours as they grappled with the challenge of securing another loco pilot to continue the journey to its destination in Lucknow.
Confirming the incident, NER released a statement, stating, “Upon reaching Burhwal station, the loco pilot of Train Number 15203 expressed discomfort with proceeding further. In consideration of ensuring safe and secure train operations, arrangements were promptly made for another loco pilot to take over, allowing the train to continue its journey to Lucknow in a safe and secure manner.”
