Wardha Junction railway station is a railway station serving Wardha city, in Wardha districtofMaharashtra state of India. It is under Nagpur railway divisionofCentral Railway Zone of Indian Railways. It is an important junction station on the Howrah–Nagpur–Mumbai line and Wardha-Chitoda line (off New Delhi–Chennai main linemnio) of the Indian Railways.
It is located at 246 m above sea level and has 4 platforms. As of 2016, at this station, 90 trains stop out of which two trains i.e. Wardha - Balharshah Passenger and Wardha - Bhusaval Passenger start/end here.[1]
The first passenger train in India traveled from Mumbai to Thane on 16 April 1853. By May, 1854, Great Indian Peninsula Railway's Bombay-Thane line was extended to Kalyan. Bhusawal railway station was set up in 1860 and in 1867 the GIPR branch line was extended to Nagpur.[2]
Before establishment of Sevagram railway station, North-South bound trains have to get their engines reversed in opposite direction which was very time consuming process. To avoid this problem, a new station for halting North-South bound trains was established in 1985, named Sevagram railway station. Since then, trains running on New Delhi–Chennai main line halt at Sevagram railway station bypassing Wardha railway station.
The railways in the Badnera-Wardha sector were electrified in 1990-91.[3]
The station has been equipped with new Route Relay Interlocking (RRI) for faster train operation.
Amenities at Wardha railway station include: computerized reservation office, waiting room, retiring room, vegetarian and non-vegetarian refreshments, and book stall.[4]
