Yedikule railway station is an indefinitely closed railway station on the İstanbul-Halkalı Line. It is located in southwest Fatih in Yedikule. The Yedikule Electric Train Depot is located right next to the station but is currently closed. The station had one track servicing an island platform (eastbound track) during the construction of the Marmaray tunnels, the westbound track being temporarily removed. Yedikule was served by the İstanbul-Halkalı Line, which was abandoned with the opening of Marmaray. The station is 7.46 km (4.64 mi) away from Sirkeci Terminal.
