Hubballi Junction has the world’s longest railway platform, measuring 1,507 metres in Hubballi, India.
The station, in Karnataka, was redeveloped with a platform designed to accommodate very long trains. The completed platform is about 1,507 metres long, making it a notable piece of railway infrastructure and one of Hubballi’s best-known transport landmarks.
Platform-length records can be confusing because stations may have several platforms, connected platform sections, or platforms extended in stages. The record refers to the length of a single continuous platform at Hubballi Junction, rather than the total length of all platforms at the station.
Hubballi is an important railway centre in southwestern India. It lies on routes connecting Karnataka with other parts of the country and serves both long-distance and regional passenger services. The platform’s unusual scale reflects the size and operational demands of India’s railway network.
