The railway administration took objection that narrow gauge cannot be started from Motijheel. It was surveyed previously and found that the demand of passengers is that the facility of narrow gauge should be made available from Gwalior Station, but a new shadow would have to be prepare for starting narrow gauge from Motijheel and staff would also be increase. In view of these problems, the Allahabad zone rail administration has decided to continue running the narrow gauge from Gwalior Railway Station as it is.
