Sanuki-Shirotori Station (讃岐白鳥駅, Sanuki-Shirotori-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Higashikagawa, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "T11".[1][2]
Lines
[edit]Sanuki-Shirotori Station is served by the JR Shikoku Kōtoku Line and is located 40.7 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Besides local services, the Uzushio limited express between Okayama, Takamatsu and Tokushima also stops at the station.[4]
Layout
[edit]The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. The platforms are linked by a footbridge but it is also possible to access platform 2 directly from the south entrance of the station. A bike shed is provided just outside this entrance.[2][3][5]
History
[edit]Sanuki-Shirotori Station was opened on 15 April 1928 as an intermediate stop when the track of the Kōtoku Line was extended eastwards to Hiketa from Sanuki-Tsuda. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). On 15 December 1956, the reading of the station name was changed from "Sanuki-Shiratori" to "Sanuki-Shirotori" with no change in the kanji. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
