Station

The Soest station was extensively renovated and refurbished up to 2010 to meet its role as both a regional station as well as a (touristic) gateway to the city. In addition to the renovation of the building and its environment, about five hectares of industrial land has been created. The building of a new underpass gives direct access to the north side of the town. In addition, the level of platform 1 was raised. In addition, the station has new retail, sanitary facilities and automatic teller machines on the ground floor with office space on the upper floors.

gollark: If a piano falls out of a window in front of me, and it hits me and nonfatally injures me in a way which leaves me hospitalized for months and losing a limb, I will be VERY unhappy.
gollark: You'll also have probably have experienced lots of unhappiness about the almost-dying, depending on how it happens exactly.
