Lucknow Metro
Encyclopedia
The Lucknow Metro is a proposed rapid transit system in the Indian city of Lucknow
that has to be built and is operated by the Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation Limited (LMRC). The proposed and passed metro rail track consitutes of two lines, one from Amausi to Munshi Pulia & the other from Vasant kunj to Charbagh Railway Station, both the lines intersecting at Charbagh. An extension line from Indira Nagar Polytechnic Crossing will extend it to Patrakarpuram in Gomti Nagar. The difference between arrival time of trains at each station is expected to be 7 minutes (The time to be reduced to 5 minutes and then to 3 minutes in phases).
The elevated stations will include Airport terminal, Amausi, Transport Nagar, Krishna Nagar, Shringar Nagar, Alambagh, Alambagh ISBT. This shall be followed by an undergroung section that will include Durgapuri, Lucknow Railway Station (Charbagh), Hussainganj, Sachiwalay (Uttar Pradesh Secretariat), Hazratganj, KD Singh Babu Stadium. Here after, the track will be elevated again, stations in the sequence are Lucknow University, IT College, Mahanagar, Badshahnagar, Lekhraj Market, Ram Sagar Mishra Colony, Indira Nagar and a termination station Munshi Pulia.
This shall be followed by elevated section that will include the stations at Thakurganj, Balaganj, Sarfarazganj, MoosaBagh and the Vasant Kunj Terminal.
The designed speed of metro would be 80 km/hr while the scheduled speed would be 34 km/ hr for North-South corridor and 32 km/hr for East-West corridor. There would be only one depot at Vasant Kunj spread over a land measuring 20 hectares. The Amausi Depot has been done away because of its promiximity to the Airport and the subsequent reasons of security and safety.

Lucknow Metro Rail gets a blueprint from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.
The Draft Detailed Project Report has been submitted to LDA by DMRC & SREI. There are certain issues on integration of the Airport with the metro line. Government has to take a call on the type of station they want at the airport. In brief, there are 21 stations proposed on the North-South corridor (Airport to Munshi Pulia) out of 21, 6 stations are underground. Number of stations proposed on the East-West corridor are 12 out of which 7 stations are underground. Both the corridors will integrate at the Lucknow Railway Station at Charbagh & the stations on both lines will be underground. After the high level meeting with Chief Secretary and Divisional Commissioner, it was decided to take the metro line to Gomti Nagar. So a 3.5 km of line has been proposed from Indira Nagar Polytechnic Trisection Station on the North-South corridor towards Patrakarpuram in Gomti Nagar. There will be three elevated stations in this route.
