I think like Mahanagri and janta express more trains shud go via COI skipping ALD and wen these trains goin via ald jn. in earlier days they are always late by 2-3 hrs daily but now after goin thru COI both these trains are coming to Jbp on time and if get late then only by min. 30-40 minutes so i think slowly slowly IR shud make more trains to Skip ald via COI if they want to skip the burmuda triangle at ALD jn. or congestion at ald jn.

14005 is d best example most of d time it's took 2-3 hrs to reach ALD from ALY..and in worst scenario it may take 4-5 hrs.
Aisa bhi kya congestion :)

But why do Allahabad have dedicated platforms? Why can't they have models like CR stations. Any train on any platform. Pune Bhusaval Manmad and even Kalyan have facilities of landing train coming fromany direction heading towards any direction. Though at kalyan it is used only during emergency but at pune bhusaval itsa daily feature.

i think if load is heavy in ALD,then divert train from cheoki.

yes i am agree with u if ALD jn. cannot handle the trains pressure then new trains and currently running trains shud be diverted thru COI so that those trains can run without delaying and the best example is CSTM-BBS Mahanagri express and LTT-RJPB Janta express earlier wen these are goin via ALD jn. so they will be late by 1+ hrs daily but now after diversion frm COI now these trains are coming on time or max. late by 30 minutes at jbp jn.
