Winschoten (; abbreviation: Ws) is an unstaffed railway station in Winschoten in the Netherlands. It is located on the Harlingen–Nieuweschans railway between Scheemda and Bad Nieuweschans in the province of Groningen. The station building, designed by Karel Hendrik van Brederode, was completed in 1865 and expanded in 1904. The train services started on 1 May 1868 and have since been provided by Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen (1868–1937), Nederlandse Spoorwegen (1938–2000), NoordNed (2000–2005), and Arriva (2005–present). During World War II, 500 Jews were transported from the station via Westerbork to Nazi concentration camps, where most of them were killed. There are currently two local train services with trains every half an hour to and from Groningen, and trains every hour to and from Bad Nieuweschans and Leer (Germany). The station handles 2,500 train passengers on an average weekday. There is a park and ride area for cars and bicycles, and a bus station with eleven regional bus services provided by Qbuzz. == History == In 1860, the Dutch government passed a railway law for the construction of ten state railroads ((オランダ語:staatslijnen)).〔 (Periode 1860 - 1880 ), Geschiedenis van de Spoorwegen.
