Nitra railway station is situated at StaniÃÂná street in the Staré Mesto district of Nitra, Slovakia. Nearby is a busy bus station and a bus stop served by the city's public transport network. Nitra is nowadays out of main railway corridors and the significance of railway transport is only regional.
The history of railways in Nitra dates back to the second half of the nineteenth century. Track section Ivanka pri Nitre (Nyitraivánka) - Nitra (Nyitra) was opened in 1876 and connected Nitra (Nyitra) with tracks à  urany (Nagysurány) - Ivanka pri Nitre (Nyitraivánka) and Palárikovo (Tótmegyer) - à  urany (Nagysurány). Railway to TopoþÃÂany (Nagytapolcsány) was opened in 1881 and local track Nitra - Zbehy (Izbék) - Radoà ¡ina (Radosna) in 1909.
Main building was built around 1876, and extended with dispatchers' offices in 1921. Today's look of the building originates in 1925, after the electrification of station lights was finished.
The railway station is scheduled to undertake complete reconstruction in 2014âÂÂ2015. The approximate budget for the reconstruction is â¬4 150 000 without value added tax. Because of 2008 financial crisis and lack of funds at à ½SR (à ½eleznice Slovenskej Republiky), the future of this project remains unclear.
