Gorakhpur Railway Station is undergoing a major redevelopment to transform it into a City Center. Due to this construction work, several entry gates and parking areas have been closed. Passengers are facing difficulties as they have to walk longer distances with their luggage.
What are the new entry and exit rules for passengers
Since June 5, 2026, entry gates number 2, 3, and 6 have been closed with barricading. Gate number 3 was already permanently shut. Now, passengers can only enter the station through Gate number 5. For exiting the station, Gate number 4 has been designated. Vehicles are generally restricted inside the premises, though ‘pick and drop’ vehicles are allowed through Gate number 5 without stopping.
Which parking facilities are available and what is closing
The 150-year-old cycle stand was closed on June 5. Additionally, the cab-way parking at Platform number 9 will close from June 15, 2026, and must be vacated by June 14. However, Gate number 7 and the cab-way at Platform number 1 remain open for paid parking. A new multi-level parking facility covering 2500 square meters will open within a week, and Gate number 6 will be opened specifically for this.
