Ludhiana Junction (LDH) traces its roots to 1870, when the Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railway connected this vital city to the Amritsar-Ambala Cantt-Delhi line. Over its long history, the station has grown into a major hub for Northern Railways, witnessing decades of industrial and cultural shifts in Punjab. The structure itself is functional, featuring a classic Indian Railway architecture characterized by large, arched entryways and a no-nonsense, red and white facade, reflecting its role as a busy, high-traffic nexus.
As one of Punjab’s busiest stations, LDH boasts seven platforms and is a crucial junction connecting multiple lines, including routes to Fazilka, Jakhal, and Chandigarh, besides being a major stop on the Delhi-Amritsar route. It handles a high daily footfall, serving as the primary gateway to the industrial heart of the state. Its central location ensures excellent connectivity to the city’s bus and taxi networks.
To accommodate the high traffic, Ludhiana Junction offers essential modern facilities, including waiting rooms, dormitories, cloakrooms, and computerized reservation centers.
The station has been noted for its relative cleanliness and continues to undergo upgrades. Passengers can easily access Wi-Fi, ATMs, and a range of food stalls, making it a well equipped transit point for long-distance travel.
