Opladen station is in the suburb of Opladen of the city of Leverkusen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is on the Gruiten–Köln-Deutz railway, which was opened on 25 September 1867 from Ohligs by the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company (BME). It was extended to Mülheim BME station on 8 April 1868.[5] The station was also opened on 25 August 1867. The original station building was demolished in 1965 and replaced by a building built in 1968. This building was demolished in 2015[4] to allow the relocation of the freight tracks of the Troisdorf–Mülheim-Speldorf railway and thereby reduce the separation of Opladen and Quettingen created by largely abandoned rail tracks.[6] It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 4 station.[2]
The station is served hourly by Regional-Express line RE 7 Rhein-Münsterland-Express between Krefeld and Münster via Cologne and Hamm. It is also served every 30 minutes between 5am to 8pm by Regionalbahn RB 48 Rhein-Wupper-Bahn, stopping at all stations between Wuppertal-Oberbarmen and Cologne, continuing every hour to Bonn-Mehlem.[7]
It serves a bus station which serves lines operated by Wupsi: 201 (Lützenkirchen–Chempark S), 202 (Opladen–Schlebusch Stadtbahn), 203 (Opladen–Burrig), 205 (Opladen–Schlebusch Stadtbahn via Lützenkirchen), 206 (Langenfeld–Mathildenhof), 215 (Opladen–Hitdorf), SB24 (Wermelskirchen–Wiesdorf), SB26 (Opladen–Schlebusch via Alkenrath).[7]
Some of these lines go to other cities: 222 (Opladen–Bergisch Gladbach), 232 [together with 206] (Langenfeld–Opladen), 253 (Leichlingen–Opladen), 255 (Leichlingen–Chempark S), SB25 (Solingen–Cologne Main Station).[7]
