Hathidah and Hathidah are two different stations catering to two completely different lines, this case is repeated at Kamarkundu ER too, where the Taraksewar Sheoraphuli line passes over the HWH-BWN Chord line. However at Kamarkundu trains cannot change dicrections while at Hathidah, it is possible.

Both cater to different zones sir.
Hathras Road is a station on the Mathura NER line, I think, maybe wrong!
Even Mathura was earlier split up between zones, but now lies entirely under NCR's jurisdiction!

Lucknow is bigger than LJN sir! It actually shows!
And I don't think LKO is a junction, the lines diverging are controlled by Barabanki(GKP/AY route), Daliganj (STP/LJN/GKP), Dilkhusa and Utraitia (RBL/SLN/GKP) and Block cabins control the lines to CNB and MB respectively. All of the above are not a part of LKO NR, therefore not a jn!

I am aware. I was just pointing how two stations are geographically located in the same location[Hathras]; one above the other.

While more trains cross LKO, LJN is a big enough station in itself. It is meant as a terminal, hence more trains start/end here[Trains to/from NER use Aishbagh instead of going to LJN and do a loco reversal]. The tracks for SLN and PBH diverge at Utratia while tracks for MB/CNB side diverge at LKO itself. Sure, some of them diverge at block cabins but the latter aren't considered proper stations. By that criterion, many junctions won't remain a junction anymore simply because the tracks diverge from a nameless cabin.
