Badshahnagar railway station

Badshahnagar railway station is a very important railway station on the Barabanki–Lucknow Suburban Railway. It serves the Badshah Nagar locality of Indira Nagar. The station is located in a very densely populated area; thus, it handles a large amount of traffic. The number of platforms, however, can not be increased due to lack of space.
