Location

Hilversum is a railway station in Hilversum, the Netherlands. It is located approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) southeast of Amsterdam. It is on the Amsterdam - Hilversum - Amersfoort main line, with a branch to Utrecht. There are two other stations in Hilversum: Hilversum Noord to the north, and Hilversum Sportpark to the south.

History

The station opened 10 June 1874. The station was situated on the so called Gooilijn (Gooi line). Other connections were added later. The current building was constructed in 1992 and, apart from the railway station, it also houses the offices of the regional Tax and Customs Administration, PareX Parts Exchange and some other companies.

In 1995 Intercity trains stopped calling at Hilversum. This service was resumed on 10 December 2007. All passing passenger trains now call at Hilversum. This was made possible after construction of the new 4th and 5th platforms to increase the station's capacity.
