Nishatpura railway station (station code: NSZ) is a terminal railway station of Bhopal City, the capital of Madhya Pradesh.[1] It also has a goods train yard, siding, and fueling depot for diesel engines. It is operated by West Central Railway. It is famous for the coach repair workshop of the Indian railways.

Development

[edit]

The railways decided to redevelop Nishatpura into a fully-functional railway station, to decrease the load on the Bhopal Junction railway station as the trains coming from Bina and going towards Indore have to undergo loco-reversal at Bhopal Junction. The development of Nishatpura would save the time and logistics both.[2][3][4][5]
