To add to this:
-Jhakarkati Bus stop (ISBT) is approachable from both ends of station. Rickshaws are most convenient mode to reach bus stand. Fare (Rs 15-20). From there buses to each major city in UP is available. Buses to LKO ply in a gap of 15 min during peak hours.
-Avoid using the underground passage during rainy season as water-logging is common due to heavy rains.
