Purnia Court railway station, (station code:- PRNC), is a railway station serving the city of Purnea in Bihar. This station is managed by the East Central Railway under the Samastipur railway division. Earlier it was an MG line which has now been converted to standard BG line and lies on the PurneaâÂÂBanmankhiâÂÂSaharsa section. The BG line was inaugurated by the Railway Minister of India Suresh Prabhu on 10 June 2016.
Purnia Court railway station was opened in 1937, becoming the second railway station in Purnea, Bihar, British India. The construction of the Purnea - Banmankhi - Murliganj and Bihariganj section, built by the East Bengal Railway, began in 1929 and was completed in 1937, passing through this station. Purnia Court got its name due to its proximity to the District Court, which is located around 5 km away.
After IndiaâÂÂs independence, the Saharsa - Budhmaghat line was extended to Murliganj in 1954, connecting the entire Purnea - Saharsa section with -wide metre-gauge tracks.
The gauge conversion work on the Purnia - Saharsa section commenced in the year 2007-08, resulting in a partial suspension of train services. However, the unprecedented floods in the Kosi River in 2008 severely disrupted and delayed the project. After eight years of construction, the broad gauge (BG) line on the remaining Banmankhi - Purnia section was finally completed and inaugurated on June 10, 2016, by the then Railway Minister of India, Suresh Prabhu.
This station has three platforms and one foot overbridge with ramp.
