Ara Jn. platforms should be higher so passengers can board trains comfortably. The station area, especially the campus, needs cleaning... there's always water lying around, and the platforms also need cleaning...

Platform no. 4 is often empty during the day, so many trains should be assigned to platform no. 4.

Hoping this all happens soon because Ara Jn. is one of the most important stations in Bihar.

Ara junction ke platforms unche hone chahiye jisse passengers aaram se train mein chad saken. Station area ke bahar campus mein safai ki zaroorat hai... hamesha paani laga rehta hai, aur platforms ko bhi safai ki zaroorat hai... Platform number 4 din mein lagabhag khaali rehta hai toh bahut si trains ko platform number 4 pe bhi lagaya jaye.

Umeed hai yeh sab jaldi ho jayega kyunki Ara junction Bihar ka ek bahut hi important station hai.

Juggaur was originally a village next to Lucknow. Today, it's part of the city, with significant development. The station is near the ring road/canal road, but access is difficult. The main road is about 2 km away, and public transportation is virtually nonexistent.

EMU trains on the Lucknow-Barabanki section used to stop here, but few people used it. Now only the BSB-BE Express and AYC-LKO EMU stop here.

The station is undergoing major renovations, and all the old ground-level buildings have been demolished. There was little demarcation between the station and the village. Even today, one might see cows tied to trees near the station.

The first three images show the rural route to the station, despite its proximity to Lucknow. I will upload images of the station as well.

Mere ek jaan pehchaan waale ke saath ek majedaar baat hui.

woh pehle kabhi akele lambi doori ki train mein safar nahi ki thi. unhe Bombay ki taraf jaana tha aur unke paas Kushinagar Express mein 3A ka ticket tha. kuch log unhe station chhodne gaye the. Kushinagar, Avadh Express se pehle Babhnan aa jati hai. us din Kushinagar late thi aur Avadh Express pehle aa gayi. un logon ne bewakoofi se unhe us train mein bitha diya. baad mein unhone kaha ki koi announcement nahi hua tha aur sirf Barauni jaane wali train ka announcement hua tha.

lekin woh dono trains ke alag alag platforms aur naam toh nahin bhool sakte the. phir bhi, dono sahi se padhe likhe log, unhe galat train mein bitha diye. fir bhi, unka 3A ka sleeper berth khali tha aur woh Gonda station tak gayi jahaan TTE ne unhe bataya ki woh galat train mein aa gayi hain. is waqt tak Kushinagar, Avadh Express se aage nikal chuki thi aur woh Gonda pe theoretically train badal sakti thi, lekin unhone nahi badli. toh TTE ne unhe Lucknow utarne aur phir agle din vapas aane ko kaha. Kushinagar phir aage nikal chuki thi, toh Lucknow pe train badalne ka koi mauka nahi raha.
