Many people do their train change over and boarding-alighting at Lucknow and get confused by seeing their trains starting from two different stations-LJN & LKO. This tip will surely help those.
See the image attached. The Blue arrow shows the Lucknow Charbagh station called as "Badi Line" and is under Northern railways. The black arrow shows the Lucknow Junction station called as "Choti Line" & is under North Eastern Railway.
The Lucknow Charbagh station is a pass through station and trains doesn't need rake reversal here. But Lucknow Junction station is a...
more... Terminal type station where Rake reversal is compulsory , as you can clearly see in the image.
Now if you have to go from Lucknow charbagh to Lucknow Station, then come outside of the LKO from Pf 1 side and from the exit which is towards CNB side (Thats because if you come out from other exit which is towards varanasi side then you will have to walk bit more.) and after coming outside , see towards LEFT hand side. You will see another building in front of you. Just go there and enter it. You will be standing at Lucknow Junction. This will hardly take 8-10 min for this change over. So if you are having a change over here at LKO/LJN , then easily 30 minutes are more than enough for Buffer (just giving example:Never keep small buffers for change over. Atleast keep 2-3 hrs buffer for all change over of trains at any station.)
This LJN station is newer as compared to LKO and has lesser options for everything, be it food or books or anything else, as compared to Lucknow Charbagh station (LKO).
please wait...Translate to EnglishA lot of people get confused when they have to change trains or get on/off at Lucknow because their trains start from two different stations - LJN and LKO. This tip will definitely help them.
Look at the attached image. The blue arrow shows Lucknow Charbagh station, also known as the "Badi Line," which is part of the Northern Railways. The black arrow shows Lucknow Junction station, also known as the "Choti Line," which is under the North Eastern Railway.
Lucknow Charbagh station is a pass-through station, so trains don't need to reverse here. But Lucknow Junction station is a terminal station where trains have to reverse, as you can see in the image.
Now, if you need to go from Lucknow Charbagh to Lucknow Junction, exit from Platform 1 towards the CNB side. Don't exit towards the Varanasi side because you'll have to walk more. Once you're outside, look to the left. You'll see another building in front of you. Go there and enter it. You'll be at Lucknow Junction. This changeover will only take 8-10 minutes. So if you have a changeover at LKO/LJN, 30 minutes is more than enough as a buffer (just an example, never keep a small buffer for changeovers. Always keep at least 2-3 hours for all train changeovers at any station).
This LJN station is newer compared to LKO and has fewer options for food, books, and everything else compared to Lucknow Charbagh station (LKO).
please wait...Translate to HindiBahut saare log apni train change aur board-alight ko Lucknow me karte hai aur unko dono alag-alag station se shuru hone wali traine dekhkar confusion hota hai - LJN aur LKO. Ye tip un logo ki madad zaroor karegi.
Dekho attached image. Neeli teer Lucknow Charbagh station ko dikhata hai, jise "Badi Line" kehte hai aur ye Northen Railways ke control me hai. Kaala teer Lucknow Junction station ko dikhata hai, jise "Choti Line" kehte hai aur ye North Eastern Railway ke control me hai.
Lucknow Charbagh station ek pass through station hai jahaan trains ko raike reversal ki zaroorat nahi hoti. Lekin Lucknow Junction station ek terminal type station hai jahaan raike reversal zaroori hai, jaise ki aap image me clearly dekh sakte ho.
Ab agar tumhe Lucknow Charbagh se Lucknow Station tak jaana hai, toh LKO ke bahar aao Pf 1 side se aur CNB side (Iss liye kyunki agar tum dusri taraf se exit karte ho, yaani Varanasi side, toh tumhe thoda zyada chalna padega.) aur bahar aane ke baad, LEFT haath ki taraf dekho. Tumhe ek aur building dikhegi...
