'''Mau Junction''' is a [[junction station]] located in the city of [[Mau, Uttar Pradesh|Mau]] in the Indian state of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. It falls on [[Allahabad–Mau–Gorakhpur main line]]. An important station of the region, it is well connected to important cities like [[New Delhi]], [[Mumbai]], [[Surat]], [[Ahmedabad]], [[Kolkata]], [[Pune]], [[Lucknow]], [[Aligarh]], [[Kanpur]], [[Allahabad]], [[Jaipur]], [[Ranchi]], [[Varanasi]], etc.

== Background ==
At starting it was a [[metre-gauge]] line. But in 1992 it converted into [[broad gauge]]. The present building towards city side was constructed in 1995 during the regime of [[Kalpnath Rai]] as a [[Cabinet Minister]] in Indian Government. The building is just like copy of {{stnlnk|Varanasi Junction}}.

== Development ==
In [[2015 Railway Budget of India]] it was decided to improve it as a [[Train station#Terminus|Terminal Station]] to avoid rush at {{stnlnk|Varanasi Junction}}. Recently [[Railway Board]] has decided to establish a new line between Mau Junction and [[Dildarnagar]] via [[Ghazipur]]. After establishment of this new line [[Mau, Uttar Pradesh|Mau]] will be directly connected to [[Howrah–Delhi main line]] and [[Howrah–Allahabad–Mumbai line]]. Mau is just 93 km away from [[Varanasi]]. Mau–Shahganj railway line was started in 1901.<ref>http://hausla.net/view.php?article=2040&news=%D9%85%D8%A6%D9%88-%D8%B4%D8%A7%DB%81%20%DA%AF%D9%86%D8%AC%20%D8%B1%DB%8C%D9%84%D9%88%DB%92%20%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%A6%D9%86%20%D8%A7%D9%88%D8%B1%20%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A6%DB%92%20%D9%85%DB%8C%D8%B1%20%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%B9%DB%8C%D8%B4%D9%86%20%DA%A9%DB%8C%20%DA%A9%DB%81%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C%C2%A0</ref>
