Sant Hirdaram Nagar (Station Code: SHRN) is a railway station in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh. It is operated by West Central Railway from February 1, 2018.[1] Previously the station was named "Bairagarh(BIH)" and was operated under Ratlam Division of Western Railway.[2][3]

Development

[edit]

The renovation of Sant Hirdaram Nagar station was completed in 2021 by the West Central Railway zone of Indian Railways.[4] In the same year, coach guidance systems which display the code and coach number of an oncoming train were installed on the station, thus upgrading facilities.[5] Recently, a proposal to upgrade the waiting hall for passengers, due to the increased footfall was made.[6]
