Düsseldorf-Bilk station is a through station in the district of Bilk in the city of Düsseldorf in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It has two platforms and it is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station.[1]
History
The station is on the new line opened by the Prussian state railways on 1 October 1891 between the Hamm Railway Bridge and Gerresheim as part of the construction of Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof.[6] The station building built in 1891 was demolished in 1986,[5] as part of the rebuilding of the line for the establishment of Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn lines S 8. On 18 March 2022, a new second platform for regional train services opened.[7]
Services
The station is served by three S-Bahn lines:[8]
- S 8 between Mönchengladbach and Wuppertal-Oberbarmen or Hagen, every 20 minutes
- S 11 between Bergisch Gladbach and Düsseldorf Airport, every 20 minutes
- S 28 between Mettmann Stadtwald or Wuppertal and Kaarster See, every 20 minutes
Since March 2022, the following five regional train services also serve the station:
- RE 4 between Aachen and Dortmund, every 60 minutes
- RE 6 between Cologne/Bonn Airport and Minden (Westf), every 60 minutes
- RE 10 between Kleve and Düsseldorf, every 30 minutes
- RE 13 between Venlo and Hamm (Westf), every 60 minutes
- RB 39 between Bedburg (Erft) and Düsseldorf, every 60 minutes on weekdays
It is served by two bus routes operated by Rheinbahn at 20-minute intervals: 835 and 836.[8]
Stadtbahn
The Düsseldorf Stadtbahn has a tunnel from Düsseldorf-Bilk station to Düsseldorf-Wehrhahn station, known as the Wehrhahn line (German: Wehrhahn-Linie). This 3.5 km tunnel was completed in 2016. Just as every other underground line opened previously in Düsseldorf, the Wehrhahn line is a replacement for current surface tram lines. The trams on this line are entering the new tunnel over a ramp at Bilk station and run from there underneath the city centre towards the north-east, where they are emerging shortly before Wehrhahn railway station. Five new underground stations and the station Heinrich-Heine-Allee are part of the line, which serve an estimated daily passenger volume of approximately 53,000. These new stations are Pempelforter Straße, Schadowstraße, the existing station Heinrich-Heine-Allee, Benrather Straße, Graf-Adolf-Platz and Kirchplatz (Düsseldorf) in the direction from Wehrhahn station to Bilk station. The new lines are the U71, U72, U73 and U83.
