Haydarpaşa Train Station is Closing, What Next?

When the date shows February 1, the historical Haydarpaşa Station will no longer be the last stop of the trains coming from Anatolia until 2014. The year 2014 has been turned into a milestone in terms of country transportation, especially with the reconstruction of the railways, which is an important vessel in transportation, we will have an Ankara-based high-speed train line, the most important line will be Haydarpaşa Station, as a matter of fact, this is the reflection of a scenario that has been played before to our country, 2 years Before, when using the Barcelona - Madrid high-speed train line, I felt how much there was a need for such a thing between Istanbul and Ankara.

Among all these high-speed train talk, Haydarpaşa Train Station stands in front of us as if it were a work of Kazım Koyuncu. Considering that the government did not take much action for this work of art whose fate is not certain (although it is better not to take it after seeing what happened to those who were taken), it makes you feel heartbroken. If you are a city planner, your heart breaks. The thing is that my project area for this term was Haydarpaşa Train Station and I had the opportunity to work in this area, and I produced projects in this area with my own literature research, I admit it may be utopian because it is a student project, but it is not impracticable, after all, Et Balık Institution and Haydarpaşa Train Stations are museums. and cultural center functions by moving the last station to Söğütlüçeşme, I thought of an application such as the New York City Railway Park in the areas where the maintenance workshops and rails are located and I showed the equipment and pedestrian flows around it. I really don't understand, this is just like the university model of ITU, which is not a burden to the state, of course, the state should not harm, but it should not make a profit in areas that contribute to the citizens.

After all this, I will tell you the future of Haydarpaşa Train Station, my friends, once the maintenance workshops are going to Gebze, we need new workshops with the arrival of new trains, the new rails and the trains will reach Haydarpaşa from Gebze. There will be a symbolic garage in Haydarpaşa, but the main task will be the hotel function and it will provide a big tourist income, who knows, maybe we will wait and see the utopian Haydarpaşa Port project.
