Deventer is a railway station in Deventer, the Netherlands. The station was opened on 5 August 1865 and is on the Apeldoorn–Deventer railway, Deventer–Almelo railway and the Arnhem–Leeuwarden railway. The train services are operated by Nederlandse Spoorwegen. ==History== In 1860 the state decided to connect the largest towns and cities in the Netherlands with each other. The railway between Arnhem, Zutphen, Deventer, Zwolle, Heerenveen and Leeuwarden was known as State railway A. When the station opened in 1865 it was connected with Arnhem and in 1861 the line to Zwolle opened. More than 20 years later, in 1887, the railway between Apeldoorn and Deventer opened. A year later this was extended to Almelo. The Arnhem - Zwolle railway and Apeldoorn - Almelo railway were operated by competing companies which resulted in two seperate stations being built. The station was also the terminus of the OLDO, a local railway to Raalte and Ommen which opened in 1910 and closed in 1935. Around the time this line was opened, the other two railways were altered, raising them above ground level to avoid conflicts with road traffic. This is also when the combined station was built for all the railway lines. The current building dates from 1914 and the island platforms were built in 1920. In 1892, when the line between Apeldoorn and Almelo was upgraded to a main line, it became an important east-west connection. It was decided in 1917 to add a second track on this line. Shortly afterwards the Zwolle to Zutphen line was also doubled. The lines were electrified in the 1950's. This made the station an important interchange from all directions. The station was also on the internation route between the western part of the Netherlands and Germany. The Almelo-Salzbergen railway was connected with the line from Apeldoorn in 1892. This meant trains could operate from Amsterdam, Hook of Holland and Rotterdam to Germany, Scandinavia and Russia. Names of these trains included the ''Holland-Scandinavië Express'', ''Nord-West Express'' and ''Hoek-Warszawa Express''. The trains had carriages for destinations such as Berlin, Warsaw, Copenhagen and Moscow. From 1991 an increasing amount of trains operated through to Berlin and in 1993 the final international train operated from the Hook of Holland. Today there is a train every two hours between Amsterdam and Berlin, operating via Deventer. Until December 2010, one of these trains rain to the Polish city of Szczecin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deventer railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
