Gorakhpur Railway Station, located in Uttar Pradesh, boasts the world’s longest railway platform, stretching 1,366 meters. This remarkable length was achieved through extensive remodeling completed in 2013. The expansion was driven by the need to accommodate the increasing number of trains and passengers, ensuring smoother operations and enhanced safety.
The station serves as a crucial hub for the North Eastern Railway zone, connecting various regions and facilitating significant passenger and freight movement. Gorakhpur’s platform length symbolizes Indian Railways commitment to infrastructure development and efficient service delivery.
