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.
