  • Question
  • Which of the following railway station won the title of world's longest railway station name by an alphabet?


  • Options
  • A. Dr. M.G. Ramachandran Central Railway
  • B. Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta railway station
  • C. Llanfairpwll railway station
  • D. Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Bengaluru City station

  • Correct Answer
  • Llanfairpwll railway station 

    Explanation
    Chennai Central Railway station in Tamil Nadu, officially known as Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M.G. Ramachandran Central Railway Station with its 57-character count missed the chance of having the title of world's longest railway station name by an alphabet. The title was won by Llanfairpwll railway station in Wales, also known for its 58 letters long name 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch'. Although, the erstwhile Chennai Central railway station which was renamed after the legendary actor-turned-politician Dr. M.G. Ramachandran is still the longest railway station name in India. The other railway stations in India with long names are Karnataka's Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Bengaluru City station, Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta in Andhra Pradesh and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Maharashtra.
