After GC process this station will be originating/terminating point for many north, northwest and northeast bound trains. Many Delhi and Izzat Nagar-bound trains will start from here. Station will also be provided with a loop line to bypass the trains which are not having a stop here. Other than this Transport nagar, Gomti Nagar, Utrahtia Jn and Daliganj Jn will be developed as satellite stations to pick the traffic pressure off Charbagh, Lucknow Junction and Badshah Nagar railway stations.
