'''Aishbagh railway station''' used to serve the 130 years old [[metre-gauge railway]] network, and used to act as a terminal for it. On 15 May 2016 the [[Track gauge conversion|gauge conversion]] process started<ref>{{cite web | url = http://indiarailinfo.com/station/news/aishbagh-ash/271 | title = Railway Station News. ASH/Aishbagh (5 PFs) | date = 13 May 2016}}</ref> in which the Aishbagh itapur section is being upgraded to [[5 ft 6 in gauge railway|broad gauge]].

Before the gauge conversion Aishbagh Junction had five platforms. Their number will be increased to seven after completion of the gauge conversion. After GC process this station will be originating/terminating point for many north, northwest and northeast bound trains. Many Delhi and Izzat Nagar-bound trains will start from here. Station will also be provided with a loop line to bypass the trains which are not having a stop here. Other than this Transport nagar, Gomti Nagar, Utrahtia Jn and Daliganj Jn will be developed as satellite stations to pick the traffic pressure off Charbagh, Lucknow Junction and Badshah Nagar railway stations.
Right now Charbagh, Lucknow Junction, Daliganj Junction, Gomti nagar and Badshah Nagar – railway stations are originating/terminating railway stations in Lucknow.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nyoooz.com/lucknow/527429/gomtinagar-terminal-to-take-pressure-off-charbagh-rly-stn|title=Gomtinagar terminal to take pressure off Charbagh rly stn – Lucknow NYOOOZ|last=NYOOOZ|access-date=11 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820104112/http://www.nyoooz.com/lucknow/527429/gomtinagar-terminal-to-take-pressure-off-charbagh-rly-stn|archive-date=20 August 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
