Eryaman YHT railway station

Eryaman YHT railway station (Turkish: Eryaman YHT garı), previously known as Ankara West YHT railway station (Turkish: Ankara Batı YHT garı), is a railway station in Ankara, Turkey. Once Başkentray commuter rail service begins in April, the station will become a transfer point between YHT high-speed trains and local commuter trains, replacing Sincan station.[1] Eryaman station also replaced Emirler station, located about 175 m (574 ft) east of the station, which was demolished in July 2016.[2]
