Rail passengers traveling via Lucknow will face disruptions from May 15 to June 23, 2026. The North Railway Lucknow Division and Western Railway have announced a mega block for concourse construction and signaling work. This will lead to changes in train routes and timings for several services.
Which trains and platforms are affected
The construction work by the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) will impact station operations significantly. Platform number four will remain completely closed, and platform number three will have a daily block of six hours. While 12 trains are diverted, 6 others will run on revised schedules.
| Affected Train | Impact Type |
|---|---|
| Jhansi-Lucknow MEMU | Route/Schedule Change |
| Shahjahanpur-Lucknow Passenger | Route/Schedule Change |
| Muzaffarpur-Surat Express | Route/Schedule Change |
| Guwahati-Okha Express | Route/Schedule Change |
| Pune-Gorakhpur Express | Route/Schedule Change |
| 36 other trains on PF 4 | Shifted to other platforms |
Alternative arrangements for passengers
Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Samarth Gupta stated that stoppages at Lucknow station for some trains will be cancelled. To help passengers, additional stoppages have been provided at Aishbagh and Badshahnagar stations. This is to ensure that people can still reach their destinations despite the construction block.
Other ongoing work on Kanpur-Lucknow route
Apart from the Lucknow station work, another mega block is active from April 2 to May 13, 2026. This work involves track repairs on the Ganga bridge on the Kanpur-Lucknow section. This has already affected the routes of premium trains like the Shatabdi and Vande Bharat Express.
