Lucknow, Kanpur railway stations to get major makeover

11 Nov 2022 CW Team

Indian Railways is redeveloping two major stations in North India - Lucknow’s Charbagh Station and Kanpur’s Central Railway Station.

These stations will be refurbished to add provisions like spacious roof plazas containing a food court, waiting lounge, children’s play area, designated space for local handicraft products, and more. The stations will have facilities for disabled people like ramps and legible signage.

The stations will adopt intelligent and green technologies. They will be well connected with the city’s transportation network such as metro and buses.

However, the timeframe for the construction is quite long since multiple stakeholders and various statutory clearances are involved.

Apart from Lucknow and Kanpur, the Indian Railways is redeveloping 52 other railway stations across the country. Among the stations where work is in progress are Ayodhya, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow Charbagh, Gwalior of NCR, and the stations where work is under tendering stage are Prayagraj, Kanpur Central and Ghaziabad in the National Capital Region.
