Kolkata railway station — Attraction in Kolkata

When people think of Kolkata’s railway stations, Howrah and Sealdah immediately steal the limelight. But lurking in the northeastern part of the city, the Kolkata Railway Station (erstwhile Chitpur Station) is the underrated sibling that deserves more attention.

What’s Special About Kolkata Railway Station? Youngest but Largest – Inaugurated in 2006, this is Kolkata’s newest major railway hub, and surprisingly, it is the biggest station in the city in terms of area. Yes, even bigger than Howrah and Sealdah!

Less Chaos, More Space – Unlike the madness of Howrah and Sealdah, Kolkata Railway Station is less crowded and offers a comparatively stress-free travel experience. No elbow fights at ticket counters!

Modern & Well-Planned – The station boasts wide platforms, escalators, and modern amenities, making it a breath of fresh air compared to some of its older, more congested counterparts.
