Ayodhya Junction railway station is a railway junction station in Northern India and is well connected with Delhi, Etawah, Kanpur, Aligarh, Lucknow, Varanasi, Gonda and Gorakhpur. It is one of two railway junctions in the twin city; the other one is Faizabad Junction.

Connectivity

The station is near to Faizabad Railway Station on Faizabad-Akbarpur Railway Station line. Another line crosses Ghaghara River and goes further north to Mankapur Junction.

Ongoing Development

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
