Construction work at the Lucknow Railway Station yard has led to changes in the routes of several trains. On June 3 and 4, 2026, many trains including the Gorakhdham and Humsafar Express will not stop at Lucknow station. Northern Railway and RLDA are carrying out concourse construction work at the Charbagh station, which requires traffic and power blocks.

Several key trains will operate on diverted routes and will not enter the main Lucknow station. The affected trains are listed below:

Where will the trains stop and what are the new routes?
Since these trains will not stop at Lucknow station, the railway has provided additional halts at Badshah Nagar, Aishbagh, Almanagar, and Utretia stations for passenger convenience. The trains will use diverted paths such as Barabanki-Malhour-Aishbagh-Kanpur Central or Almanagar-Transport Nagar-Utretia.
Additionally, 36 trains that usually operate from platform number four have been shifted to other platforms. Senior DCM Samarth Gupta of Northern Railway and officials from North Eastern Railway have advised passengers to check their train status before starting their journey.
