'''Badshahnagar railway station''' is a very important railway station on the [[Barabanki–Lucknow Suburban Railway]].<ref name="indiarailinfo.com">{{cite web|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/arrivals/badshahnagar-bnz/907|title=BNZ/Badshahnagar (2 PFs) Railway Station – Train Arrival Timings – India Rail Info|access-date=6 July 2016}}</ref> It serves the [[Badshah Nagar]] locality of [[Indira Nagar, Lucknow|Indira Nagar]]. The station is located in a very densely populated area; thus, it handles a large amount of traffic. The number of platforms, however, can not be increased due to lack of space. The railway management has provided many services and facilities to cope up with traffic. Earlier a few trains like Gorakhpur Intercity Express used to originate / terminate here, but now it has been cancelled. Since this is small station with 2 platforms, it is now completely saturated with trains and railway is now compelled to develop Gomti Nagar as a terminal station.<ref name="indiarailinfo.com"/>
