History
Former railway station
The former Herne Railway station was first opened in 1905 and served the town until passenger services were discontinued in 1983.[2] In 1993 the site was turned into a Passing loop.
New railway station
In 2020 the S-Bahn Line S9 started operating passenger services on the line towards Recklinghausen Hbf[3] and passed Herten without stopping. Construction of the new railway station began in 2021 and the station opened in December 2022. Until the opening Herten was the biggest town in Germany without a railway station.[4]
