Which trains will be shifted and where
A proposal to shift approximately 30 trains has been submitted to the Railway Board for approval. Among these, the Vaishali Express, which runs from Lalitgram to New Delhi, will now be operated from Shakur Basti station.

The redevelopment project is expected to last for about four years. While the station will not be closed completely, the shift of these 30 trains is expected to be effective from July 1, 2026. Officials are working to get the necessary approvals before the festive season to avoid passenger inconvenience.
What are the new features of the station
Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnav shared that the redevelopment focuses on a futuristic design and enhanced safety. The new plan includes the installation of 1,500 AI-based cameras for better security. The work is progressing rapidly, and the goal is to create a world-class transit hub for passengers.
