== Passenger Facilities ==
{{unreferenced section|date=February 2019}}
The station has two waiting halls one for Upper Class and one for General Class ticket holders. The waiting halls are very small and difficult to handle large number of passengers. Indian Railways have given a complete makeover with massive transformation to station under Railway's beautification and redevelopment initiative.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Devanjana |first1=Nag |title=Indian Railways Sainagar Shirdi railway station gets a beautiful makeover! See pics |url=https://www.financialexpress.com/infrastructure/railways/indian-railways-sainagar-shirdi-railway-station-gets-a-beautiful-makeover-see-pics/1776975/ |access-date=5 February 2021 |work=The Financial Express |publisher=Financial Express |date=28 November 2019}}</ref> The station, which falls under Solapur Division of Central Railway zone, has been beautified with paintings to walls and upgraded with various ultra modern facilities. Some of the newly introduced facilities and amenities include new Foot over Bridge (FOB), a new food plaza, lifts, new toilet, CCTV cameras, Wi-Fi Service, coach guidance system, train watering facility at second platform along with tree plantation.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Devanjana |first1=Nag |title=Indian Railways Sainagar Shirdi railway station gets a beautiful makeover!

The station doesn't have cloakrooms and any kind of book stalls. The railway track ends at Shirdi railway station and no train leaves further which makes difficult to catch other trains if one misses the train.
