Drigh Road Junction Railway Station (Urdu: ڈرگ روڈ ریلوے اسٹیشن , Sindhi: ڊرگ روڊ ريلوي اسٽيشن) is a railway station in Karachi, Pakistan, near the Jinnah International Airport. It is situated near Drigh Road Flyover on Sharah-e-Faisal.[1]
The station is a stop for a few trains going "upcountry" and all "down country" express trains. In the past, it was a junction on the Karachi Circular Railway.[2] The station has a booking office, train shed, tuck shop, mosque, advance reservation office, and a parking lot.
In December 2024, amid severe traffic disruptions caused by protests by a religious party, Pakistan Railways announced additional stops for all trains departing from Karachi, including a two-minute stop at Drigh Road Junction.[3]
