Explanation

Located in Uttar Pradesh, India, Gorakhpur railway station has the longest platform in the world since October 2013. It handles over 189 trains on a daily basis and serves ten local railway stations. Initially, the meter-gauge rail was divided into three; the 135-mile meter-gauge Gonda loop, running between Gorakhpur and Gonda, Kaptanganj-Siwan metre-gauge line was opened in 1913 and the 25-mile (40 km) meter-gauge Nautanwa branch line was opened in 1925. These were then converted to a single broad-gauge since 1981 which would have made Gorakhpur to have three railway platforms.
