Ayodhya Dham Junction & Cantt Railway Stations: Facilities & Cloakrooms

Understanding Ayodhya's Twin Railway Hubs

Tour operators must clearly differentiate between Ayodhya’s two primary railway stations to prevent confusion for incoming guests:

• Ayodhya Dham Junction (Station Code: AY): Located adjacent to the heritage old city and Ram Path, this station features a magnificent temple-like crown facade, air-conditioned waiting lounges, multi-level foot overbridges with escalators, and tourist information centers.
• Ayodhya Cantt Junction (Station Code: AYC): Formerly Faizabad Junction, located 7 km west of the old city. Many major long-distance express trains terminate here due to wider platform capacity and maintenance yards.

Station Amenities: Cloak Rooms, Food Courts & Retiring Rooms

Both stations feature 24/7 computerized IRCTC cloakrooms where passengers can safely deposit baggage before visiting temples, executive waiting lounges, clean restrooms, and vegetarian food plazas serving hot satvik meals.
