Meppel railway station

Meppel railway station is a transport hub in the town with three platforms handling passenger trains throughout the day. The lines connect Meppel to Amsterdam, Leeuwarden, Groningen, and nearby communities across the region.

The station building was constructed in 1867 following State Railways specifications and designed by architect Karel Hendrik van Brederode. Its design applied a revised template for third-class stations typical of that period.

The station serves as a daily meeting point for commuters and travelers, connecting the town to broader rail networks. It represents a practical link in the infrastructure that binds together communities across the Netherlands.

The station offers extensive bicycle parking for those arriving by bike, which is common in the Netherlands. Multiple bus lines from the station connect you to downtown Meppel and surrounding areas for easy onward travel.

The building earned protected monument status in 1998, recognizing its architectural quality and historical value. This designation ensures the original design and craftsmanship of the station building are preserved for future generations.
