Schwandorf station is the second most important regional transport hub in the Upper Palatinate province of Bavaria after Regensburg Hauptbahnhof, and one of the two working railway stations in the town of Schwandorf. It is classified as a category 3 station by Deutsche Bahn.

History

[edit]

The station was opened on 12 December 1859 by the Bavarian Eastern Railway Company, when the Nuremberg–SchwandorfRegensburg route was taken into service. Just under four years later, on 1 October 1863, the Schwandorf–Weiden line was opened and, in 1865, it was extended to Cheb. The link to Cham was opened on 7 January 1861 and in autumn of that year the line was opened all the way through to Prague via Furth im Wald and Plzeň. The result was that two lines passed through the town, one in a north-south and one in an east-west direction. These lines still exist, although Schwandorf can no longer be called a "railwayman's town" as used to be the case.

Infrastructure and facilities

[edit]

The station has eleven main lines of which five are used for passenger services. The home platform and the two island platforms are 38 cm high and do not meet the requirement for barrier-free admission. In the station building, there is a ticket machine, a newsagent, a bakery, and a shop for travellers with a bistro.
