The Bnei Brak Railway Station is a suburban passenger railway station in Israel, operated by Israel Railways. It is located near the Bnei Brak-Ramat Gan and Bnei Brak-Tel Aviv borders next to the Ayalon Mall and the Ramat Gan Stadium.

History

The Bnei Brak station was originally opened in September 20 1949, for the purpose of serving the residents of Tel Aviv, and named Tel Aviv North. At that time, the Ayalon railway did not exist, and the only connection from the northern railways (especially Haifa) to the south was through the Eastern coastal railway, which did not include a connection to Tel Aviv. The closest such connection was in the Petah Tikva Railway Station, a small extension of the Eastern railway. In 1949, Israel Railways decided to elongate this extension, and thus created this station.

With the opening of the Coastal railway in May 1953, which was connected to the Tel Aviv North branch to the north of the city, the station became more relevant and served as an interim stop on the Haifa–Jerusalem service, which was connected to the Jaffa–Jerusalem railway.

With the opening of Tel Aviv Center in November 1954, its relevancy again declined, the name of the station was changed to Bnei Brak, and only a few trains continued to use it. After the full opening of the Ayalon railway in the 1990s, which connected Tel Aviv Center to Tel Aviv South via the Ayalon River, the branch to Bnei Brak and Petah Tikva was abandoned entirely.

On June 3, 2000, a new service was initiated by Israel Railways, going from Tel Aviv to the Rosh HaAyin South Railway Station. The Bnei Brak station became part of this line and opened later the same year. When the service was changed to Kfar Saba and Rosh HaAyin North, the Bnei Brak station remained part of the route.

tructure

The station has three platforms - one adjacent to the entrance, and two on an island between two rail tracks.
