There are a couple of cancellations and diversions galore including a couple of Rajdhanis. There are two diversion routes, both via Grand Chord from DDU (ex-Mughal Sarai), and then crossing over to the Main Line either from Sasaram to Ara, or from Gaya to Patna, the latter being preferred for faster trains so as to be able to take advantage of 130kph on Grand Chord for a longer distance.
