Breda railway station is a railway station in Breda in North Brabant, Netherlands. It is situated on the Breda–Rotterdam railway, the Roosendaal–Breda railway and the Breda–Eindhoven railway.

History

The first station was opened on 1 May 1855 as the eastern terminus of the Roosendaal–Breda railway. When the line was extended to Tilburg, a new station was built on the same site in 1863. The station was initially run solely by a Belgian company, the Société Anonyme des chemins de fer d'Anvers à Rotterdam until the opening of the line to Tilburg from Staatsspoorwegen (Dutch State Railways), which changed after the merger between that company with the HSM in 1938 to Nederlandse Spoorwegen. In the 1970s, the station was rebuilt in combination with being placed on a viaduct.[1] This station was opened on 10 October 1975 and designed by architect Hans (J.) Bak.[2] The station was recognisable by its design with a large canopy over the two platforms with four tracks. The regional bus station next to the station had the same canopy type.

From 4 April 2011 the high-speed train Fyra from Amsterdam Centraal stops in Breda.[3] This service was renamed in December 2013 to Intercity Direct because of the earlier problems with the V250 rolling stock.[4]

On 30 May 2012 the Minister of Infrastructure Melanie Schultz van Haegen officially launched the project Via Breda, which includes another total reconstruction of the station. On 6 September 2014 at 05:30 (AM), a new pedestrian tunnel was opened alongside the northern part of the station building. The old southern station building will be demolished, as well as the regional and city bus stations. The buses were replaced to the northern side on new elevated bus platforms when the old southern part of the station was closed in the night of 6-7 September after the last night train departed.[5][6] The project is expected to be completed in 2016,[7] when the southern part of the new station will be opened.
