Sivas opens restored historical building as High-Speed Train station
A historical logistics warehouse in Sivas has been restored and officially opened as a new High-Speed Train (YHT) station. The 1,005-square-meter facility preserves its original architectural features while providing modern services, including VIP lounges, waiting areas, ticket counters, administrative offices, a prayer room, a cafeteria, and parking.
During the opening ceremony, AK Party Group Chairman Abdullah Güler stated that the project aimed to give the area a distinct identity by integrating the registered historical building with modern transportation needs. The ceremony was attended by various officials, including the Sivas Governor and deputy ministers.
Separately, Selçuk Nuh Akkaya, President of the Sivas branch of Ulaştırma Memur-Sen, has called for the establishment of a large-scale maintenance, repair, and revision workshop in Sivas. He emphasized that such a facility for passenger and high-speed trains would increase operational efficiency and create significant employment opportunities by utilizing the city's existing skilled workforce.
