Woerden_railway_station
Woerden railway station (Dutch: Station Woerden) is the railway station of Woerden, Netherlands. The railway station was opened on 21 May 1855 on the Utrecht–Rotterdam railway. In 1911 a new building was built in Jugendstil. During 1993-1996 the railway station was modernised, replacing the wooden roof and stairways by modern ones, while maintaining the Jugendstil building.

During the closing decades of the twentieth century growing numbers of stopping trains at the station and a sustained rise in the level of motorised traffic led to increasing delays both for cyclists and for motorists at the level crossing directly adjacent to the station on its western side. The matter was finally addressed early in the twenty-first century with the construction of a short section of a road tunnel under the railway lines: this replaced the old level crossing.
The station has two platforms and two entrances. On every entrance, there is bicycle parking.[2]
