Bakırköy railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bakırköy railway station (Turkish: Bakırköy istasyonu) is the main railway station in Bakırköy, Istanbul. Located 12.6 km (7.8 mi) west of Sirkeci station, the station was serviced by Istanbul suburban commuter trains as well as TCDD regional trains to Kapıkule, Çerkezköy and Uzunköprü. The station was closed in March 2013 and subsequently demolished to make way for a larger, more modern station as part of the Marmaray project. The rebuilt station was opened on 12 March 2019.[2] The station has an interchange with Özgürlük Meydanı station of the M3 metro line.
