Station building

The Apeldoorn station building is not related to any of the standard stations, but it has similarities with stations built in that period. It consists of an upper middle portion with two lower short side wings. The station building was saved in connection with a massive refurbishment of the station from 2004 to 2008.

The refurbishment included, closure of the level crossings at and near the station where passengers and cyclists would pass to get to Apeldoorn Zuid and opening of a new cycle tunnel under the station, railway and the adjacent road. The front square of the station was renewed in conjunction with this. There are also lifts to go up to the platforms.

In 1887 there were local lines from Apeldoorn in three directions:
  • Apeldoorn - Zwolle (No longer remains)
  • Apeldoorn - Dieren (Late in the 20th century it became the property of the VSM Steam Railway)
  • Apeldoorn–Deventer railway
