'''Lucknow''' is a city in north-central India, about 250m/400km south-west of [[Delhi]]. It was the scene of a major siege during the [[Indian Mutiny]], when the Residency was defended against great odds by a small group of soldiers and civilians, including schoolboys from La Martiniere College.
Later, Lucknow became an important railway hub for both broad and metre gauge lines, headquarters of the [[Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway]] (which also had two major workshops situated close by, at [[Alambagh]] and [[Charbagh]]), and a terminus for the [[Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway|Rohilkund and Kumaon Railway's]] line from [[Bareilly]].
