Antwerpen-Berchem railway station (Dutch: Station Antwerpen-Berchem; French: Gare d'Anvers-Berchem)[a] is a railway station in Berchem, in the south of Antwerp, Belgium. The station opened on 1 March 1865[1][2] and currently serves railway lines 25, 27, 27A and 59. The train services are operated by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB).[3]

History

[edit]

From opening until 1975, the station was simply known as Berchem, later changing to Berchem (Antwerpen), at a time that international trains stopped here instead of Antwerpen Oost. In 1983, when Berchem and Antwerp became one city, the station was renamed Antwerpen-Berchem.

International Thalys and Benelux services (from Amsterdam to Brussels and Paris) stopped calling at this station, following the opening of the North-South tunnel under Antwerpen-Centraal. Since December 2014, the Benelux service (Amsterdam–Brussels) calls at the station again.
