Varanasi City railway station is one of the railway stations in Varanasi. It is 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) Northeast of Varanasi Junction railway station, 10 kilometres (6 mi) northeast of Banaras Hindu University and 23 kilometres (14 mi) southeast of Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport. It serves as terminal station due to heavy rush at Varanasi Junction.

At Varanasi City railway station, there are five platforms, planning for 8 platforms are already approved. There is one entrance to the station. Because of heavy rush at Varanasi Junction the Railway Board decided to develop Banaras railway station and Varanasi City railway station as satellite stations. Now, Varanasi City is the headquarters station of the North Eastern Railway (Varanasi City Division). Earlier Varanasi Junction was the headquarters of the North Eastern Railway but later North Eastern Railway changed the headquarter. As Varanasi Junction falls under the Northern Railway, Lucknow Charbagh Division. The station is well connected with the cities like Ghazipur, Mau, Darbhanga, Chhapra, Mumbai, Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, etc.^[1][2]
