Meeting: Plans for the Station

The proposed underground bus station at Eindhoven Central is one step closer to reality. The municipality, ProRail, NS, the province of North Brabant, and the national government have selected a preferred option. On Monday, April 13, we will discuss this development, along with the entire area on the north side of the station, with Frank Werner (KCAP) and Jeroen van Schooten (Team V), led by Erna van Holland. Attendees will also have the opportunity to experience the design in 3D. The chosen option includes a terminal with five bus tunnels connecting to John F. Kennedylaan, Veldmaarschalk Montgomerylaan, Vestdijktunnel, and Boschdijktunnel. The fifth bus tunnel will lead to Fellenoord, between the intersections with Boschdijk and Boschdijktunnel. These tunnels will allow buses to drive directly to the underground bus station without intersections. The bus station will feature three island platforms with a total of 34 stops for each bus line, with approximately 200 buses able to operate per hour during peak times. Over 900 million euros have been allocated for the complete station plan through the Brainport and Beethoven agreements. In addition to the bus station, a two-story bicycle parking facility will be built on Vestdijk, alongside the existing parking on the south side of the station, providing space for around 13,000 bicycles. A new station hall will also be constructed, directly connected to the bus station. This meeting will be conducted in Dutch.
