Aishbagh railway station used to serve the 130 years old metre-gauge railway network, and used to act as a terminal for it. On 15 May 2016 the gauge conversion process started [2] in which the Aishbagh-Sitapur-Lakhimpur-Mailani section is being upgraded to broad gauge Mailani-Pilibhit getting delayed due to PTR NOC.

Before the gauge conversion Aishbagh Junction had five platforms. Their number will be increased to seven after completion of the gauge conversion. After GC process this station will be originating/terminating point for many north, northwest and northeast bound trains. Many Delhi and Izzat Nagar-bound trains will start from here.
