Which is the 3 longest station in India?

Identifying the third longest railway station in India can be subject to how "longest" is defined – whether by the length of a single platform or the overall size of the station. However, in terms of the length of a single continuous platform, Kollam Junction (QLN) in Kerala holds the distinction of having one of the longest railway platforms in the country, often cited as the third longest. Its platform stretches over a remarkable 1,180.5 meters. This incredible length allows for the simultaneous berthing of two long-haul trains, a feature that enhances operational efficiency at this busy junction in southern India. 

For many years, Gorakhpur Junction in Uttar Pradesh held the title of the world's longest platform, and Kharagpur in West Bengal also boasts a platform of significant length. However, with the recent development of the platform at Hubballi in Karnataka, which is now the longest in the world, the rankings have shifted. Kollam Junction's impressive platform length is a testament to the engineering prowess of Indian Railways and its continuous efforts to upgrade and expand its infrastructure to meet the growing demands of passenger and freight traffic.
