The Jerusalem-Malcha train station ( Hebrew תַּחֲנַת הָרַכֶּבֶת יְרוּשָׁלַיִם - מַלְחָה Tachanat ha-Rakkevet Jerūschalajim Malchah ) was the most important train station in the Israeli capital Jerusalem from 2005 to 2018 . The station in the Malcha district is the end point of the Jaffa – Jerusalem railway line and was opened in 2005 after the line was renovated.
history
Construction and inventory
The station was built as part of the renovation of the Jaffa – Jerusalem railway line, which shortened the line from the original Jerusalem station by around 3.5 kilometers. Since the station opened on April 9, 2005, it has been the end of the line. It was designed by the architects Amnon Niv & Amnon Schwartz .
The station has three levels, the two platforms with a total of four tracks are in the lower one. It can be reached completely barrier-free via elevators and escalators.
The train station is relatively far away from downtown Jerusalem, and the trains take around 80 minutes between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, which means that trains between the two cities are not used very well.
future
Since the opening of the new high-speed line between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in September 2018, the new Jerusalem - Jitzchak Nawon station is located below the inner-city bus station , the further use of the station has been unclear.
business
IC3 three-car diesel multiple units (Hebrew Krono'im ) currently run between Jerusalem-Malcha and Tel Aviv every two hours, which is compressed to one hour during rush hour. Due to problems with the trains, the line was temporarily (2006-2008) operationally divided in Bet Schemesch .
Occasionally there are also special transports to major soccer games in the neighboring Teddy-Kollek Stadium .
