Vadodara Junction railway station (formerly Baroda City Junction, station code: BRC) is the main station in the Indian city of Vadodara, Gujarat. It is the ninth busiest railway station in India in terms of frequency of trains after Kanpur Central, Vijayawada Junction, Delhi Junction, New Delhi, Ambala Cant, Howrah, Patna Junction and Asansol Junction and busiest in Gujarat state and as well as a major stop on the western railway zone of Indian railways. Around 170 trains starts, ends, or passes through the station daily.nnHistorynnThe station was built in 1861 for the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway company by then Gaekwad ruler Maharaja Khanderao. The existing building was newly constructed by Indian Railways in 1954 by demolishing the original smaller station. The station celebrated 150 years of establishment on 9 January 2010.nnAmenitiesnnIt is a fairly large station with 7 platforms on the main line with over 250 trains halting. There are 2 foot over bridge (FOB) connecting platform 1 to 6. Platform 2, 3 and 6 has sliding ramps and platform 1 has escalators. There are two exits. One via Platform 1 that opens towards the old city (as well as Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda and Central Bus Stand) while the other end is towards platform 6 (that open towards the new city- Alkapuri side).[3] Platform 6 is the longest with 704m length. A Pay & Use Tiolet facility is available at Platform 6.[4]nnPlatform 1 has waiting room and retiring rooms[5] as well as a refreshment canteen. Several ATM are located just outside platform 1. Platform 7 is ahead of platform 1 and acts as a terminus for some passenger and MEMU trains and facilitates reversing of some trains including the Shanti Express and the Gujarat Sampark Kranti Express, which use the Vadodara Delhi line as well as the Vadodara Ahmedabad line.

The cleanliness of the station is excellent,nAnd everything is very good. But one thing is not good. Suppose if we want to go on platform no.3 then first we have to go on platform no.1 for ticket checking. It is compulsory. There is also a way from platform no.6 to get in. But the ticket checkers are only available on platform no.1

Looks good. All facilities available on platform no 1. Big wash room n bathroom there. Nice display. Clean tracks. No more bad smell.
