Aydıntepe railway station (Turkish: Aydıntepe istasyonu) is a railway station in Tuzla, Istanbul. Up until 2012, the station was a stop on the Haydarpaşa suburban commuter rail line.[1] The original station consisted of two side platforms with two tracks.
Aydıntepe station was closed down on 1 February 2012, when all train traffic between Pendik and Arifiye was temporarily suspended due to construction of the Ankara-Istanbul high-speed railway.[2] The station was demolished shortly after and a new station was built in its place. The new station consists of an island platform serving two tracks, with a third express track on the south side.
Aydıntepe station is expected to open in late-2018 along with the entire Marmaray line.
