India Jan 05, 2026

Gomti Nagar Railway Station in Lucknow just got a serious upgrade—it now feels more like an airport than your typical train stop.
The place is bright, super clean, and spacious, with glass walls and an air-conditioned lounge.
A viral video shows a woman gliding up the escalator, really highlighting the fresh new vibe.

Netizens love the transformation

The makeover has racked up over 5 lakh views online, with people calling it "fascinating" and saying, "This is what development should look like."
Fun fact: Gomti Nagar is now UP's first privately-managed railway station—private companies handle most of the station while Indian Railways still runs trains and ticketing.
This model is seen as a significant step toward the modernisation of Indian Railways.
