Since the 1856 year, the stations and the stations for the supply, meeting and freight services of the trains were built along with the iron roads surrounding the Anatolian lands. On the basis of these stations and stations, a new city civilization began to form.

Both the Ottoman Period and the first fifty years of the Republic until the first fifty years of the freight and passenger transport is done by rail, the direction of life was always towards the station.

Cities were set around the stations.

The most beautiful settlements of the cities are the station neighborhoods, mostly consisting of houses with gardens.

Railway houses, which are decorated with colorful flowers and built into the gardens with a thousand kinds of trees, are the cornerstones of the station neighborhoods.

The most beautiful and broadest squares of the city were established on the faces of the stations, all of which were facing the city.

The tea gardens within these squares are the meeting point of all the citymen, beyond being the place where train passengers spend their time.

The shortest route to the city center is the kısa

They are the most lively places in the cities with their groomed roads adorned with trees and lined up on both sides.

As in Polatlı Malıköy, some of our stations have played an important role in changing the course of the National Struggle.

Our stations which have left deep traces in our history and places starting with the name of the station will protect the place of the people in the heart.

As TCDD, we build new high-speed train stations that will serve in high-speed railway lines.
