@ALL.
I guess the question is about the largest railway station in terms of length, area do not matter in this (that's what I think) in Gorakhpur is the largest rail station in India measuring 4483 ft but the grand terminal is largest station in the world consisting 44 platforms.

Its a quiet controversial question depending on one's definition of LARGE and on the other hand there is a difference between a TERMINAL & a STATION.
Note that it's the largest TERMINAL not STATION.

Mr.Veeren you have mistaken. Kharakhpur railway station in India is the longest platform this is not largest railway station. Okay. Largest railway station is situated in New York.

Longest station is Kharagpur, West Bengal, India.
Busiest railway station in terms of passenger movement have a different view. Perhaps it is Sealdah in West Bengal, in India.

Terminal means end point where the train stops in the platform,
But Station means train stops for few mins and move away with passengers.
Now are you cleared Mounika?
