Velbert-Neviges station is located in the city of Velbert in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is on the Wuppertal-Vohwinkel–Essen-Überruhr line.
History
[edit]
The original station was opened north of the centre of the then independent municipality of Neviges together with the Wuppertal-Vohwinkel–Essen-Überruhr railway on 1 December 1847 by the Prince William Railway Company (Prinz-Wilhelm-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft) at line-kilometre 12.8.
Since Neviges was incorporated into Velbert in 1975, the name of the station was changed from Neviges to Velbert-Neviges in December 2003.[4] It was also moved a few hundred metres to the vicinity of the Neviges market (Nevigeser Markt) in 2003, so that it would have a better connection to bus transport.[4] The original station is still preserved. The former platform canopy was demolished by Deutsche Bahn in March 2019 and the former station building is now used as a restaurant. In operational terms, the new station is considered a Haltepunkt (stopping point), as it has no sets of points.
