Station complex

[edit ]

The station consists of three platforms. All platforms are well sheltered. It has good facility of sanitation but lacks water.

History

[edit ]

Gobardanga railway station is located on Sealdah–Hasnabad–Bangaon–Ranaghat line of Kolkata Suburban Railway. Link between Dum Dum to Khulna now in Bangladesh, via Bangaon was constructed by Bengal Central Railway Company in 1882–84.[1] The Sealah–Dum Dum–Barasat–Ashok Nagar–Bangaon sector was electrified in 1963–64.[2] It is a busy railway station. Its location close to many educational and cultural institutions makes it a significant place to visit between Habra and Bangaon. It was rebuilt in 2009.
