Yenimahalle railway station

Yenimahalle railway station (Turkish: Yenimahalle istasyonu) is a railway station in Bakırköy, Istanbul. The station was originally built in 1955 as a stop on the Istanbul suburban commuter rail line until 2013, when the entire line was closed down for expansion and renovation.[1] Yenimahalle station was demolished and a third track was added. The new station is expected to enter service towards the end of 2018 and will be a stop on the Marmaray commuter rail line.[2]
