A beautiful station with a huge rail yard.The station is big one, very cleanly maintained and well organized. The greenery just outside the platform brings calm and soothing effect.The foot-overbridge towards North bazar is like a sky-walk, and its fun to walk on this bridge.Outside the station, e-rikshaws are available.

Its a kind of station where only Local trains make stop. A station that is near to Burdwan. There is hardly any rush here and as there is no rush, the platform looks quiet and clean. Youll usually find more goods train here than passenger trains.

Small but enough space in station. We went there for summer training in dvc andal. There are many food stall outside of the station and the transport is mainly covered by buses and totos. But if you have to go there for summer training anyday make sure to check for living place before, because its very hard to search for there & then you have to go to andal market side for more costly hotels.

Andal is a railway station on the Bardhaman-Asansol section. It is called Andal Junction (UDL). Change train for Andal-Sainthia branch line and Andal-Sitarampur branch line. Andal is located in Paschim Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.It serves Andal and the surrounding mining-industrial areas.The first passenger train in eastern India ran from Howrah to Hooghly on 15 August 1854. The track was extended to Raniganj by 1855.The Waria-Asansol sector was electrified in 1960-61.Andal Yard is one of the largest in Eastern Railway. Coal loaded at various colliery sidings are hauled to the yard by diesel locomotives. Coal is supplied in rakes to such thermal power plants as at Bakreshwar, Farrakka and Sagardighi. Substantial amounts of coal are dispatched to destination on Northeast Frontier Railway.Here is an interesting description: Andal is a railway town, consisting mostly of railway housing – in Indian terminology, the ‘railway colony’. Its commercial parts consist of a couple of dusty streets linked under the tracks by a long tunnel which, being unlit, has to be walked through by faith at night. The railway installations extend to a marshalling yard and a loco depot, all for coal traffic, since the through main line is served by the depot and the yards of Asansol a few miles west. Andal was home to wartime North American Mikados and older British 2-8-0’s plus some powerful tank engines for local passenger work.

Important for andal-sainthia route connection with main railway route of Eastern Railway. Platforms are being modified to provide more amenity for travellers. Communication with NH 2 is not satisfactory. Loco shades yards and other railway departments are attached with control activities of this very old Railway station.
