Yozgat YHT railway station, short for Yozgat Yüksek Hızlı Tren station (Turkish: Yozgat Yüksek Hızlı Tren garı), is a railway station located just north of the village of Divanlı, about 7.5 km (4.7 mi) south of Yozgat.
Due to the mountainous terrain of the land, the railway was not built within the city of Yozgat. The station has become the realization of the Turkish State Railways' 70-year-old plan to build a railway line to Yozgat as the original railway was planned to be built from Yerköy to Yozgat in 1948.[1]
