Bookings for the same can also be made on an hourly basis, informed railway officials.

Accommodation facilities ramped up at Lucknow Railway Station

The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation has remodelled the retiring rooms of Lucknow Division into a hotel-like resting area. This faciliity is equipped with all basic amenities, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, LED television sets, double beds, sofa sets along with chairs and dressing tables. All washrooms are furnished with toiletries including shampoo, towels and soaps.

While informing about the new and improved facility, the DRM of Lucknow Division, Dr. Monika Agnihotri also mentioned that this economical option will mainly benefit people visiting Lucknow for short stays or business purposes. Being the capital city, a lot of people travel here on a daily basis and a service that can be accessed on an hourly basis with hotel-like amenities, would ease matters for them.

Travellers, be it men or women, can opt for rooms or separate designated dormitories, prepared for them. Each resting room or retiring bed can be booked on an hourly basis, for a maximum of 48 hours. Bookings can be made done from the IRCTC website, in advance.

Hour-wise booking charges
