The historic Derbent Station, which was closed for three years in 2014 due to the High Speed ​​Train Project, is being closed again by the General Directorate of State Railways for the signaling project to be carried out between Köseköy and Pamukova. The work will be carried out between May 2-18. Derbent Neighborhood Headman Erdal Baş said, “The railways want to close this station completely due to the low number of passengers. We will not allow this.”

Derbent Station is a historical garage that has been operating since the end of the 1800s, where the Haydarpaşa- Baghdad Railway Line was opened. In the Derbent Station, which has been serving for more than a century, commuters and post trains stopped between Adapazarı and Haydarpaşa; take passengers and lowered passengers. For many years, workers from Seka and other factories went and took their train from this station. This station was very important for those in Kartepe and the surrounding areas.

Derbent Station in the district of Adapazarı-Istanbul Haydarpaşa between the island was running. The historic station was open for many years. The 2014 was shut down for three years as part of the High Speed ​​Train Project, which started in the year. In 2017, when YHT started its voyages, Ada Ekspress started its flights but the number of reciprocal flights was reduced. The commuter train was operating five times a day between Pendik-Arifiye and Arifiye-Pendik.

Derbent Station will be closed between 2-18 May as part of the commuter train signaling work between Arifiye and Derbent. This may take a long time. The High Speed ​​Train did not stop at Derbent Station after it was commissioned. After the YHT service, the area around the station was also surrounded by fences. Parts to the perona are locked. When the suburban train hours are approaching, the officer is unlocked. Erdal Baş, head of Derbent Mahallesi, said that the development of tourism in the region will increase the importance of the historical station for the region after the cable car line is built.

After the announcement of the closure of the historical Derbent Train Station, the local people reacted. Neighborhood Headman Erdal Baş said that the reason for the suspension of services for about a month, using signaling works as an excuse, was to completely close the station. Neighborhood people gathered in the station area and reacted to the suspension of services. Headman Erdal Baş said, “Derbent Station is the historical value of our neighborhood and this region. We are working to protect this value. Many people go to Istanbul and Adapazarı from this region, and the number of tourists who prefer to travel to our region by train is quite high. A cable car will be built in the upcoming period. This station will gain much more importance. Instead of activating the station, they want to close it. We will not give up on this. We will take the issue to our Metropolitan Municipality Mayor, we will take the issue to our deputies.”
