The Story in Brief
The Kasganj, Aishbagh Express has restarted daily service after an 11-year interruption, inaugurated on July 26, 2026. Train number 15312 departs Kasganj at 4:20 am and reaches Aishbagh at 1 pm, covering 422 km in eight hours and 40 minutes. In reverse, train 15311 leaves Aishbagh at 2 pm and arrives at Kasganj at 10:40 pm. The service runs seven days a week through the Rohilkhand region, stopping at Ujhani, Budaun, Bareilly, Izzatnagar, Pilibhit, Puranpur, Mailani, Gola Gokarannath, Lakhimpur, Sitapur, Sidhauli and Mohibullapur.
The train uses LHB rakes with Second Seating and AC Chair Car accommodation. Passengers are advised to check live timings and platform details on IRCTC or NTES before travel.
The Indian Opinion
Incessant cheer about a single train restarting papers over the thousands of cancelled and suspended services across the network. Railways loves a ribbon-cutting moment, but commuters in smaller towns still struggle with erratic schedules and ageing coaches. The real test will be whether this train runs on time six months from now and whether passenger numbers justify keeping it, not just the inaugural fanfare.
