Egekent 2 is a railway station on the İZBAN commuter rail network in İzmir, Turkey. It is located on the west side of the D.550 highway in the neighborhood of 29 Ekim. The station opened on 30 January 2011.
The station is within Central line of the İZBAN system. Trains run north to Menemen and Aliağa; and south to Alsancak, Cumaovası and Tepeköy.
The station itself has a unique design, in comparison to the rest of the stations in İzmir. The mezzanine of Egekent 2 is located in an elongated structure above the platform. Here lie the fare turnstiles and information booth for the station, along with a small waiting area. This design was later utilized in Ankara during the renovation of its commuter rail line.
History
The land for the station was originally reserved during the mid-1990s, when the Turkish State Railways constructed the Menemen-Aliağa railway, in anticipation of expanded commuter rail service in İzmir. However the station itself was not built until 2004, when the electrification of railway from İzmir to Aliağa was completed. Following its construction, Egekent 2 would not yet be serviced by any trains for several more years. The station was finally opened on 30 January 2011, as part of the 31 km (19 mi) expansion of İZBAN's Northern Line from Çiğli to Aliağa.
Connections
ESHOT operates regional bus service, accessible from the station.
