The rebuilding of the station was completed in 1951 after the being bombarded several times in World War II.

From Hengelo there are tracks to Germany via Oldenzaal; to Munster (Germany) via Enschede and to the rest of the Netherlands via Deventer. Furthermore there are local tracks to Apeldoorn via Zutphen, served by Syntus and to Zwolle via Almelo & Nijverdal.

The railroad tracks were laid in the 1900's for the textile industry in Twente to transport the coal for the factories. As Hengelo lies low the railroad soon was elevated up to a dike.

2008 Update: Construction is in progress to widen the pedestrian tunnel underneath the tracks and also the Notrh- and South fronts of the station will be changed. Expect some nuisnace from time to time.
