Vaishali Metro Station
Blue Line · Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh
About Vaishali metro station
Vaishali is a terminus of the Blue Line.
The Blue Line ends at Vaishali, the last stop of the branch that leaves the main line at Yamuna Bank. The station opened on 14 July 2011 and lies outside Delhi, in Ghaziabad district of Uttar Pradesh. Its only neighbour is Kaushambi. The station is elevated, with side platforms.
Platform 2 is the departure side, signed for Yamuna Bank and Dwarka Sector 21. That second destination reflects DMRC’s practice of running some trains straight through from Dwarka to Vaishali, so a ride towards Dwarka from here need not involve a change at Yamuna Bank. It serves the Ghaziabad suburb of Vaishali and the neighbourhoods around it.
First and last metro at Vaishali
| Line and direction | First train weekdays | Last train weekdays |
|---|---|---|
| Blue towards Yamuna Bank (next: Kaushambi) | 06:00 | 23:00 |
Departure times from this station on a weekday, as DMRC’s journey planner gives them (checked on Tuesday 20 October 2026; the planner takes no date). DMRC does not publish separate Saturday, Sunday or holiday times for each station, and on special days it announces changes in advance. A last train after midnight belongs to the previous evening’s service. “Not published” means DMRC’s own answer was inconsistent (arrival before departure), so we leave it out.
