Satellite railway stations are secondary stations established near major cities to help distribute passenger load and reduce congestion at primary terminals.
These stations often handle long-distance and suburban services, providing additional boarding and deboarding points. By offloading traffic from central hubs, satellite stations improve operational efficiency, enhance passenger convenience, and contribute to smoother travel experiences.
They also facilitate better connectivity to remote areas, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the railway network. Key examples include Anand Vihar Terminal in Delhi and Bandra Terminus in Mumbai, both of which effectively complement their bustling central counterparts.
