Ayodhya Junction railway station is a railway station in the city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh in India and is well connected to major cities and towns of the country. It is one of two railway junctions in the twin city; the other one is Faizabad Junction.
Connectivity[edit]
The station is near to Ayodhya Cantt railway station on Ayodhya–Akbarpur railway station line. Another line crosses Saryu River and goes further north to Mankapur Junction.
Ongoing development[edit]
The station is under expansion of doubling and electrification since 2019.
The new design will retain the temple-like look and adds many new amenities besides increasing capacity to handle more crowd expected due to the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The redevelopment is being done in two phases. While the first phase will see the development of the platform areas, the second will see the erection of the new station building with amenities like more washrooms, lounges, dormitories, ticketing. Phase 1 is expected to be completed by June 2021[1][2]
