Aishbagh Junction is the third largest railway station of Lucknow, India. It is located in the North Eastern Railway zone.

Until May 2016 this station used to serve the 130 years old metre gauge railway network, and used to act as a terminal for it. On 15 May 2016 the gauge conversion process started[1] in which the Aishbagh – Sitapur section is being upgraded to broad gauge.

Before the gauge conversion Aishbagh Junction had five platforms. Their number will be increased to seven after completion of the gauge conversion. After GC process this station will be originating/terminating point for many north, northwest and northeast bound trains. Many Delhi and Izzat nagar bound trains will start from here. Station will also be provided with a loop line to bypass the trains which are not having a stop here. Other than this Transport nagar, Gomti nagar, Utrahtia Jn and Daliganj Jn will be developed as satellite stations to pick the traffic pressure off charbagh, Lucknow junction and Badshah nagar railway stations. Right now Charbagh, Lucknow junction, Daliganj junction Gomti nagar railway stations are originating/terminating railway stations in lucknow.[2]

Meter Gauge Trains From Aishbagh

before gauge coversion, a total of 22 trains originated and terminated at Aishbagh Junction. Although all meter gauge trains are now cancelled since gauge conversion . It is planned to run all these trains again as broad gauge trains.

Aishbagh – Manaknagar bypass

under this project a one kilometer rail track will be constructed from Aishbagh station to Manak nagar through RDSO area of the city so that long distance trains fro Gorakhpur will directly pass from Aishbagh to Manak nagar without going to Lucknow Junction and thus avoiding the time loss in engine reversal.

Circular train
