The list of stations in West Bengal includes prominent names like Sealdah, Malda Town, Bolpur, Barddhaman Junction, New Alipurduar, New Mal Junction, Tarakeswar, and Rampurhat Junction.

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has revealed that the architectural design of the station buildings will be influenced by local culture, heritage, and traditional architecture.
