Anand Junction (station code: ANND) is a major junction located in Anand, Gujarat.[1] It is a junction on the railway line which connects Ahmedabad with Vadodara and Mumbai and was opened in 1901.[2]
A 14 mile long broad-gauge line was opened in 1929 connecting Vadtal with Anand Junction and Kanjari Boriyavi Junction, with 4 platforms benefitting pilgrims visiting the Swaminarayan Temple in Vadtal.[3] Other broad-gauge branches from Anand connect it to Godhra and Cambay.[4]
In 2011, Indian Railways announced its intention to set up "multi-function complex" including budget hotels at Anand railway station.[5]
