Comments

  • Communication to this station to the other part of the city is very poor, like Howrah or Sealdah and this is also lonely palce
  • Shyambazar Five Point Crossing is highly connected through buses from all parts of Kolkata and Salt Lake. Shyambazar is also on the Metro Railways. K-series buses goes upto Kolkata Rly. Stn. through Shyambazar and R.G. Kar Hospital. Buses like 33, 3D, 3D/1 etc. goes via R.G. Kar which is walking distance from Kolkata Rly. Stn.
