Today's technological possibilities and the construction features of that period can be reflected in certain infrastructure programs of our ancient cities such as Sivas. However, where we have a historical station building like Sivas, a different station building could be built in terms of both construction technologies and mechanical systems. While we benefit from the High Speed Train service next to our station building with its historical identity and texture, we actually use this registered building."

With the approval of our regional board, the tender was made and we put it into service today." he said.
