== History ==
After the British Indian Government purchased the Indian Branch Railway on 31 March 1872, and renamed the [[Lucknow–Kanpur Suburban Railway|Lucknow–Kanpur main line]] as the [[Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway]], railway services started to expand towards the west of Lucknow. The construction of a railway line from Lucknow to [[Sandila]] and then further onwards to [[Hardoi]] was completed in 1872.<ref name=orr>{{cite web | url = http://management.ebooks6.com/The-Oudh-Rohilkhand-Railway-download-w23852.pdf | title = The Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway | publisher = Management E-books6 | access-date = 30 May 2013 }}{{Dead link|date=October 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> This line was further extended to Bareilly on 1 November 1873.<ref name=orr /> Prior to that, another railway line connecting [[Moradabad]] to [[Chandausi]] had already been built in 1872; it too was extended to Bareilly, the construction completed on 22 December 1873.<ref name=orr />
