Amrit Bharat Station Scheme

[edit]

Amrit Bharat Station Scheme is an ongoing Indian Railways mission launched in February 2023 by the Ministry of Railways to redevelop 1275 stations nationwide. Daliganj Jn. is one of the 1275 stations being redeveloped.

Amrit Bharat Station scheme envisages development of stations on a continuous basis with a long-term approach. It involves preparation of Master Plans and their implementation in phases to improve the amenities at the stations like improvement of station access, circulating areas, waiting halls, toilets, lift/escalators as necessary, cleanliness, free Wi-Fi, kiosks for local products through schemes like ‘One Station One Product’, better passenger information systems, Executive Lounges, nominated spaces for business meetings, landscaping etc. keeping in view the necessity at each station.

The scheme also envisages improvement of building, integrating the station with both sides of the city, multimodal integration, amenities for Divyangjans, sustainable and environment friendly solutions, provision of ballastless tracks, ‘Roof Plazas’ as per necessity, phasing and feasibility and creation of city centres at the station in the long term.

Aishbagh Junction terminal

[edit]

This project was started on 1 May along with gauge conversion from metre to broad gauge from the very same station to Pilibhit. In this project North Eastern railway has develop this station as terminal and major junction. Six platforms have been constructed along with an entirely new large station building and dual entrance.

Gauge conversion

[edit]

This project started on 15 May 2016. Under this project metre-gauge lines from Lucknow to Tanakpur will be converted to broad gauge under three phases, where first phase Aishbagh to Sitapur was completed by 2020. The second phase Sitapur to Mailani was completed in 2022 and the entire trackwork to Pilibhit was completed in March 2024.

Aishbagh–Manaknagar bypass

[edit]

Under this project a one-kilometer rail track has been constructed from Aishbagh station to Manak nagar through RDSO area of the city so that long-distance trains for Gorakhpur can directly pass from Aishbagh to Manak Nagar without going to Lucknow Junction and thus avoiding the time loss in loco reversal.

Gomti Nagar Terminal

[edit]

Under this project, NER has developed a world-class railway station at Gomti Nagar. Six platforms have been made here connected via levelled concourse. This station now also acts as terminal for a few north- and northeast-bound trains (like for Patna, Kamakhya, Godda, etc.)

Circular train

[edit]

Honorable Home Minister Rajnath Singh Ji has announced that a local train just like that of Mumbai will run on Aishbagh–Lucknow city–Daliganj–Badshahnagar–Gomtinagar–Malhour–Juggaur–Malhour–Dilkusha–Gwarigaon–Charbagh route to ease the pressure on the roads. The reports are already submitted and date for starting the project will soon be announced.

ASH–MAL doubling and electrification

[edit]

NER completed track doubling and electrification of the rail track from Aishbagh to Malhour via Rakabganj, Badshah Nagar and Gomti Nagar in 2023.
