The new S-Bahn (suburban railway) stop Köln-Weiden West on the western edge of Cologne (located on the upgraded line Cologne-Düren) seen from the south side on 28 May 2006, the day it was taken into service. The station was more or less finished on that day, except for the elevator (located between the staircases) which looked finished but was not yet operational. The yellow signs at the bottom of the staircases indicate that this is a non-smoking station. Note that the stairs are very wide, as heavy traffic to the soccer stadium is to be expected sometimes.
