Bratislava Lamač railway station is the smallest true railway station in Bratislava. It contains four tracks of rails allowing the trains to cross tracks or the express trains to overtake slower passenger or freight trains.[1] The station building was reconstructed in 2007.

History

In the past, stone from the nearby quarry was being loaded onto trains here. The narrow-rail line for this purpose was built in 1924.

On 21 May 2012 a 41-year-old woman died when she stumbled at the first platform when crossing the lines, falling down under a passing train. The accident caused seven trains to be delayed for a total time of 201 minutes.[2]
