One of the major railway station in Punjab. You can get a train to Attari border from here .Nice railway station with good facilities. You can get local trains and long distance trains from here. Also bus stand is near to it so you can get a bus to your destination place. Hotel and restaurant are also available near the railway station so you dont have to go far for it.

HistoryThe Sind, Punjab and Delhi Railway completed the Multan-Lahore-Amritsar line in 1865.The Amritsar-Attari section was completed on the route to Lahore in 1862.The 78 km (48 mi) long Amritsar–Khem Karan railway line runs through Tarn Taran and Patti.A 54 km (34 mi) long line links Amritsar to Dera Baba Nanak on the bank of the Ravi.The 107 km (66 mi) Amritsar–Pathankot route runs through Batala and Gurdaspur. The 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) wide broad gauge Amritsar-Pathankot line was opened in 1884.DevelopmentAmritsar became the first railway station in the state to be WiFi-enabled. With this announcement, concerns have also been raised around increasing the capacity of the railway station from the current 6 platforms to 8 platforms and base this on the standards of the International Airport. This is due to the fact that it is the most important and busiest railway terminus of the state. Two more escalators would be installed in the station from Platform 5, as Platform 1 has already two.Platform No. 6 and 7 are started in January 2018 because of due to large movement of passengers in the city.The Amritsar railway station is located at an elevation of 233 metres (764 ft) and was assigned the code ASR. With this, it has become the busiest railway station of the state in terms of passenger movement and train traffic. In the 2016 railway budget, the government has aimed to beautify the railway station as it is the main station of the holy city.[5] The railway station is the first and only with WiFi in the division and CCTV has recently been enabled.[6] In the recent railway budget, it has been mentioned that Amritsar Junction will be improved due to its importance in various fields.[7] The Movement Control Office (MCO) for Armed Forces is also available at PF no 1.

Overall a good place to find trains for almost any place in the country. Just lacks bit of cleanliness and order. Elevator is available in building near food court. Parking is also available at nominal price. In order to avoid being fined for person without purpose on station, it is advised that everyone who accompany their family must buy a station ticket.Taxis/cabs are easily available, local bus service is also available at gate of station. Police men are also available, in case one needs help.

Station is not as maintained as it should be. Mismanagement of auto and taxi stands also causes congestion outside railway station. Taxi and auto drivers will start following you from platform itself. Platforms are clean. Proper dustbins are placed. Continuous announcement of train will keep you informed about the status of your train.

A Large Railway station which connects thousands of cities and states together.The railway station is neat and clean and there are also dust bins and sweepers which make the floor neat and clean.Moreover, there are also sweeping mini cars which clean the dirt from the floor but its not good because it blows the dust on people.There are washrooms or restrooms available at the station and there are some small canteens from where you can buy snacks and cold drinks or mineral waterand there is also a police station where you can take help or register any complaint.I didnt not find the ticket counter very good because people are not standing in a queue and fights if someone comes or go out of line.If you want to go to some other platform you can use lift to go to the first floor or on the bridge that connects all the platforms.Last but not the least, please travel in the train box which is allotted by the railways because if the ticket checker will come he will fine you if you are traveling in wrong train box.At Last i want to alert you because due to the large population coming to the Amritsar Railway station there also pocket pickers and frauds which will target people who are new to Amritsar. So, please beware of them and keep your children and personal belongings safe.Please like this review if you find this helpful.Thanks

Overall its a pretty clean train station. There are small kiosks selling food and books and a few other incidentals. Its decently well lit at night. If youre walking in, the east side is where you buy tickets, and its a little bit of an odd entry. The surrounding area was pretty safe for a 1.6km midnight walk West/North to our Airbnb; The scariest thing being a couple of barking dogs. As an aside, if youre buying tickets for a local train, its day-of purchase only.

Amritsar Junction is situated in Guru Arjun Nagar, Amritsar, Punjab. Its functioning since 1862 under North Zone. Its a largest and heavily crowded junction. As the visitors are coming from all around to visit the Sikh pilgrimage Golden Temple and other historical landmarks. It has very good connectivity to Punjab and other major cities of the Country. It has facilities for passengers.

Outside railway station u will find many auto rickshaws and they will leave you almost anywhere u want to go with a minimal amount of 10rs. Golden temple from station is just 2KM away from the station. I am going to attach a rough guiding map which will guide you and also tell you about the places near the station.

And staff is irritating if come to in morning before 5 am then there no one person available to give service of ticket. Always get from the ticket machine through card.

Our train was at 4am in the morning so we decided to stay at the Station waiting room. We had a ticket for AC class coach. But the Station didn’t have any waiting room for AC class also the waiting room which was available had fans at very bad condition. Good thing was about six or seven walls had charging ports. It also had elevators which was very convenient as well. There were so many battery autos and normal autos available out of the station.

Amritsar Junction Railway station through main entry to platform No1 is here. Towards Pathankot, New Delhi and other places you can get trian from here. Also those who wanted to visit Amrity Golden Temple has to get down here and easy to reach there by Auto or taxi. Also refreshing rooms for taking bath and toilet is available here. But condition of toilet is not good and mainatnace is poor for gents waiting room. You should come with a mug. But ladies waiting room is fine.

Station is not much maintained as it should be considering its historic importance. If compared with Nanded which has equal historic importance Amritsar has to go a way too long. On station facilities are same as any other Junction. You will easily find local tum tum or cycle rickshaw outside station, just make sure you bargain.

I spend 2 days in amritsar its real enjoyable.City was awesome and I found polices in every corner.But when its comes to railway station in night its not safe for tourists.We have to take early morning train from amritsar to New Delhi-so we came station at night.I didnt see any crpf or railway police on duty.Please look into this. Lots of people coming and sit anywhere. I kept my wife at ladies waiting room.2 gents came inside on ladies waiting and site next to her and asking something- then we enter then they left.This is not good. I hope you will look into this.We usually travel by bus. This is first time we halt in Amritsar station.Its just a suggestion from my side. Because we not feel safe thats way I wrote this.
