Central metro station (Kolkata)

Central is an underground metro station on the North-South corridor of the Blue Line of Kolkata Metro on the crossing of Bepin Behari Ganguly Street and Central Avenue in Bowbazar, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

Structure The station has a central island platform and two side platforms. Between each side platform and the island platform is a track, serving up and down trains. The station was built in this layout as it was anticipated that the Green Line will interchange with Blue Line at this station and the layout will effectively handle all the traffic. However, that did not happen and the side platforms, thus will never be used. Instead of opening doors on both sides, trains open doors on the right side, that is towards the island platform.

Station layout The station employs a Spanish solution with a combination of island and side platforms to facilitate efficient passenger movement.
