Basmane railway station (Turkish:Basmane Garı) is anintercity andregional railway terminal andrapid transit station inİzmir,Turkey. Along withAlsancak station, Basmane[1] is one of two railway terminals in the city. AllTCDD Taşımacılık trains terminate at this station, with intercity service toAnkara,Bandırma andKonya as well as regional service toDenizli,Söke,Tire andÖdemiş. The name originated from the Turkish phraseBasma hane.[2][3][4][unreliable source?]
When theOttoman Railway Company built Alsancak Terminal, the demand for more railways in İzmir grew. On July 4, 1863, theSmyrna Cassaba Railway (SCR) was chartered to build a line from İzmir toTurgutlu (then Cassaba). The railway chose to have their terminal close to the city center. Construction of the station began in 1864 and completed in 1866. The station opened on October 25, 1866. The SCR used the station for passenger and freight operations, with a freight depot in the back of the station. DuringWorld War I, the station along with the railway was put under Ottoman military control. After the war and theRepublic of Turkey formed, the station was still under SCR control until 1934, when theTurkish State Railways (TCDD) absorbed the SCR. TCDD continues to operate the station to the present. In 2001 the tracks were electrified, but never used. In 2006 the station was renovated and closed to passenger service. In 2009 passenger service returned.
Underground station is on theM1 Line of theİzmir Metro inKonak. Located directly under the national railway station, it is one of the ten original stations of the metro system. Connection toTCDD Taşımacılıkinter-city andregional trains are available above ground as well asESHOT city bus service. Basmane is the only station offering a direct connection to intercity and regional train service on the metro system since 2016, when TCDD Taşımacılık trains bypassedHalkapınar. The station is constructed in a way all entrance and exit is done through national railway station above.
