After stoppages at Prayag Junction and Phaphamau Junction, the next stoppage of the train was Lalgopalganj. Meanwhile, the passengers got a jolt near Ramchaura Road. It was later learned that the engine of the train had moved along with a coach.

The remaining 14 coaches were left behind. Meanwhile, the guard and driver of the train got down and checked and found that the coupling of the LHB coach which was attached to the train was broken. Its information was given to the Lucknow Express Control Room. During this, the power supply on the OHE line was stopped.

After the incident, all the passengers got down outside the train. Some even made a video of the entire incident and shared it on social media.
