Station lies on Lucknow - Gorakhpur main line. Some trains like Gwalior Barauni, Lucknow Barauni and Intercity stop here. Two platforms only.

Is this train usually canceled during winters? I need to go to Gwalior from Lucknow and it is the only direct connection. Do suggest a backup option as well [ even if it involves looping around at multiple stations, I am no stranger to using multiple trains to reach destination ].

Are buses available easily from Etawah for Gwalior? I think if my train is canceled, I shall just take the early morning Gomti Express for ETW.

I know the status of Gomti, the least preferred train b/w Lucknow and Delhi :p. There is a reason why ticket is easy to get. But yes, it's often delayed, especially in winters.

Wait, the road overbridge can be closed on a national highway? Wouldn't that stop all traffic on the route.

haan sometimes, overbridge is shut due to maintenance and hence NH is shut as well.

not only wrt LKO-NDLS train, I was referring to more of excessive crowd, unreserved passengers, etc.
Anyways, Gomti is meant more of for intermediate passengers now rather than e2e.

Yeah, daily passengers use it a lot. I did travel it end to end once. My back didn't take too well to the journey :p.

I recently traveled from LKO to CNB in it and it was half empty. I guess due to it's early morning departure from LKO, hardly any daily pax will find it useful and it would get it's crowd post CNB.
