Hometown Stations

Haydarpaşa, Sirkeci, Basmane… The famous railway stations of the country. Especially Haydarpasa: Its fate has been talked about since the day it turned one hundred years old in 2008, and whether it will continue its life as a station or not is awaited with concern. Without a doubt, it is one of the main sights and typical city landscapes of Turkey: Haydarpasa. The book prepared by Kemal Varol looks not only at Haydarpasa, but also at the railway stations throughout the country. It not only goes to 'big' stations, but also stops by some 'intermediate stations'. From east to west, from north to south, train stations are lined up: Haydarpasa, Sirkeci, Hadimköy, Alsancak-Buca-Seydiköy, Basmane, Akhisar, Eskisehir, Samsun, Ankara, Ulukisla, Pozanti, Adana, Iskenderun, Diyarbakir, Batman, Kurtalan... About the stations information, memories, observations... Dreams made possible by railway stations... Until recently, railway stations were the entrance gates of cities. They were among the temples of modernism. Now they are a little old and even the subject of a little nostalgia. The articles in the book in your hand look at the stations with both sadness and love. No one is willing to give up the stations!
