Badshahnagar railway station is a very important railway station on the Barabanki–Lucknow Suburban Railway.[1] It serves the Badshah Nagar locality of Indira Nagar. The station is located in a very densely populated area; thus, it handles a large amount of traffic. The number of platforms, however, can not be increased due to lack of space. The railway management has provided many services, added a new entrance from Platform 3 side and added facilities to cope up with traffic. Earlier a few trains like Gorakhpur Intercity Express used to originate / terminate here, but now it has been cancelled. Since this is small station with 3 platforms, it is now completely saturated with trains and railway is now compelled to develop Gomti Nagar as a terminal station.[1]
