Tundla is a technical halt for changing drivers and guards for almost all of the trains on the New Delhi–Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Nagar / Lucknow sections. The station was built by the British and remains essentially unchanged. The railway station is a site in itself and takes one back to the pre-independence era.
