Patel Halt is a small railway station in Patna district, Bihar, India. Its railway station code is PATL. It serves many villages around Bihta and Sadisopur in the Patna district. Due to this small but functional railway station many students, government employees, and old people including patients get easy access to basic transportation to Patna.
