Sealdah Station Opens Dedicated Gate for Long-Distance Train Passengers
Sealdah Station in Kolkata, serving over 15 lakh daily passengers, has opened a new Central Gate dedicated to long-distance train travelers. This gate provides direct access to platforms 11 through 14 and connects to an app-based taxi pickup point, reducing congestion and risky cross-traffic with local commuters. The initiative aims to ease navigation for passengers with luggage, families, and elderly travelers by separating them from suburban train crowds, improving overall boarding and deboarding experience.
