History

Stadyum was originally a railway station on the Bornova suburban line known as Mersinli railway station. The station was built by the Smyrna Cassaba Railway (SCP) and opened on 25 October 1866.[1] Trains from Basmane station to Bornova stopped at Mersinli. Since the Bornova Branch was never extended, the station and the line remained a suburban railway. The Turkish State Railways (TCDD) took over the SCP in 1934 and continued operating commuter service on the railway. TCDD sold the railway to the İzmir Municipality in 1994 and Mersinli, along with the railway, was closed down. The Municipality began construction of the İzmir Metro in 1995 and Mersinli station was demolished. The new station, named Stadyum, was built as an elevated station on the new right-of-way. Construction was completed in 1999 and the station was inaugurated on 22 May 2000, along with the metro line from Bornova to Üçyol.[2]
