Locomotive Earlier it used to have loco reversal at Lucknow Jn (NER), but now it bypasses Charbagh line and halts at Aishbagh Junction to avoid loco reversal.
When the route was not electrified, it was hauled by a diesel loco from Azamgarh to Lucknow and from Lucknow, a Ghaziabad-based Indian locomotive class WAP-7 or Indian locomotive class WAP-5 hauled it to Delhi and vice versa.
But since the whole route is now electrified and train belongs to Northern Railway zone of Indian Railways, a GZB (NR) WAP-7 or WAP-5 powers it for the entire journey.
