Patliputra Junction, Station code (PPTA), is a railway station in the Rukanpura area in the West End of Patna, Bihar.[4][5] The station, which is governed by East Central Railway and managed by Danapur railway division,[6] lies on the Patna–Sonepur–Hajipur section.[7] Located 12 kilometres north-west of Patna Junction,[8] it has primarily been developed to ease pressure on the city's other two railway stations, through which roughly 350 trains pass daily.[9] It is located near Bailey Road,[10] an important western thoroughfare in Patna.[11] Patliputra junction has become the fourth terminal of the Danapur railway division after Patna Junction, Danapur station and Rajendranagar Terminal.
Patna lies in between New Delhi and Kolkata, one of the busiest rail routes in India. The city is a major railway hub and has six major stations: Patliputra Junction, Patna Junction, Danapur, Rajendranagar Terminal, Gulzarbagh, and Patna Sahib. In January 2016, the construction of India's longest road-cum-rail bridge, the Digha–Sonpur rail–road bridge, was completed on the banks of the Ganga nearby and connect Patna to Bharpura Pahleja Ghat (Sonpur).[12] The bridge is 4.55 kilometres (2.83 mi) long and therefore, the longest road-cum-rail bridge in India as well as one of the longest in the world.[13]
