Guwahati Junction is located in the heart of Guwahati, Assam. Just behind the Guwahati Railway Station is the State Bus Station. This is the Paltan Bazaar area of Guwahati from where most of the private bus companies operate connecting Guwahati with the rest of the state and the Northeast.
To reduce the traffic on the main station, a new railway station at Maligaon named "Kamakhya" has been made fully operational and capable of handling trains. Many trains are departed and halted at this station. Almost all newly introduced trains run from Kamakhya station only. There were plans to make a new railway station at Beltola (in the southern part of Guwahati) to introduce trains towards Shillong. Plans have not been finalized and still in process.
Other stations
There are five more stations in and around the city accessible area. They are Narengi, New Guwahati, Agthori, Amingaon and Azara.
- Among these Narengi station is used only for halting trains coming from north-eastern states. As such there are no facilities at the station.
- New Guwahati station is used for freight services as it is close the Guwahati refinery.
- Azara station is near Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, but it lacks proper facilities and needs to be properly operational to handle trains.
- Amingaon on the northern side of the city was the old station when the Saraighat bridge was not constructed.
- The station Agthori is on the north Guwahati side near the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, but it lacks basic amenities and so it is not used.
