Roosendaal railway station

Geschiedenis

Roosendaal is a railway station in the city of Roosendaal, Netherlands. The station opened on 3 July 1854 on the Antwerp–Lage Zwaluwe railway and is the beginning of the Roosendaal–Vlissingen railway. Roosendaal was the first station in North Brabant to be built. Roosendaal is also a border station between the Netherlands and Belgium. Trains in Belgium run on the left side of double-track whereas in the Netherlands right-hand running is the norm. At some borders, the changeover is achieved by using a flyover, but at Roosendaal trains stop and await a signal to allow them to proceed to the opposite track.Since June 2015 there has been an NMBS ticket machine at the station to buy Belgian train tickets.Train servicesThe station is served by the following services:1x per hour international service Amsterdam - Schiphol - The Hague - Rotterdam - Dordrecht - Roosendaal - Antwerp - Mechelen - Brussels Airport - Brussels2x per hour intercity services Amsterdam - Haarlem - Leiden - The Hague - Rotterdam - Dordrecht - Roosendaal - Vlissingen2x per hour intercity services Zwolle - Deventer - Zutphen - Arnhem - Nijmegen - 's-Hertogenbosch - Tilburg - Breda - RoosendaalIn the morning rush hour extra intercity services: 3 from Bergen op Zoom to Roosendaal and 1 from Roosendaal to Vlissingen 1x per hour local service (stoptrein) Roosendaal - Essen - Antwerp - Antwerp-South - Puurs (not on weekends)1x per hour local service (stoptrein) Roosendaal - Essen - Antwerp - Antwerp-South - Sint-Niklaas - Lokeren (weekends)2x per hour local service (sprinter) Dordrecht - Roosendaal
