The new station Weiden West of the Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe (KVB) seen on 28
May 2006, the day it was taken into service. This is the new western terminus of
line 1, located next to the S-Bahn (suburban railway) line Cologne-Düren.
The picture was taken from the platform of the S-Bahn which is located on a high
embankment. Probably tracks 1 and 2 (at the right platform) will be used for
regular traffic, in case of heavy traffic to the soccer stadium all four tracks
are needed. In the background the tracks turn left to follow the Aachener
Straße into the city.
