Transport Nagar is present in Sharda Nagar area of southern Lucknow . It lies on Lucknow - Kanpur highway. Northern Railway will develop a Railway Station here to decongest Charbagh railway station. Trains from Raebareli, Varanasi,Allahabad, Pratapgarh, Jaunpur, Zafrabad, Hardoi, Moradabad, Delhi, Shahjahanpur, etc. will originate /terminate and pass through this station. All trains from Varanasi can pass on to Moradabad - Delhi route without passing through Charbagh Station.

Connectivity

Transport Nagar Railway station will be connected to rest of the city with Transport Nagar metro station, which lies on north-south corridor. It will also be linked to city via local bus, auto services. One of the two main inter State bus terminals of the city i.e., Alambagh Bus terminal is just 2 miles away.

Transport Nagar Goods Yard

NR is deciding to shift the Charbagh Goods Yard to Transport Nagar. This is so because railway has a lot of land in Transport Nagar area to develop a goods yard and a passenger terminal. This is also because the number of platforms needs to be increased in Charbagh station for which land is required.

NR will make a new rail link between Zafrabad and Utrahtia to create another optional rail route between Varanasi and Lucknow.

Utrahtia junction terminal

If the passenger pressure continued to increase NR will create a terminal railway station at Utrahtia to ease rail traffic at Charbagh station. It will be sixth major railway station in city.
