Transportation: By Train

    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: Getting by train to Hengelo is easy. There are direct trains from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Rotterdam and The Hague.

    From the station you can enter the center of Hengelo directly on foot. There are taxi's and busses for destination farther away.

    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.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The Trein taxi service is a combined train-taxi offer. You have to buy a EURO 3.80 ticket in advance and give your destination station a telephone call. You might have to share your cab with other passengers. Taxi services are available at train services times.

    The Hengelo trein taxi is at the left exit of the train station. There is a pushbutton to communicate with the taxi operator to order a ride. From December 2006 the local Taxi-AUB company is offering the train-taxi service

    Note: common taxi's are also available but at a higher price.
