Balamau is a train station in Hardoi district of Lucknow division of Uttar Pradesh.[1] It is located in Kachhauna, four miles northeast of its namesake village of Balamau.[2] It lies on the Amritsar–Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction main line, 9km (06miles) from the previous station at Baghauli and 8km (05miles) from the next station at Dalelnagar.[1] It is also the terminus of two branch lines, one leading to Kanpur and the other leading to Sitapur.[1] The Balamau–Kanpur and Balamau–Sitapur lines both use metre-gauge tracks.[3]
In 1903 a new east–west branch line was built connecting Balamau station to Madhoganj.[2] Around this time, Balamau station was described as having "a considerable trade in grain", with most of it brought by cart from the village of Balamau.[2]
