Aargau Verkehr puts the southern section of Aarau station into operation
Aarau - Die Aargau Verkehr hat den neuen Südteil des Bahnhofs Aarau in Betrieb genommen. Neben verbessertem Reiseangebot ist ein attraktives Wohn- und Geschäftsviertel entstanden.
After a four-year construction period, the new southern section of Aarau railway station is now in operation. According to a press release from Aargau Verkehr AG(AVA), the modern new building offers passengers significantly improved travelling comfort. Among other things, AVA’s head office has moved in here, as has a modern train control centre for the Wynental and Suhrental Railway. Convenient kiss-and-ride parking spaces have been created for travellers on Hintere Bahnhofstrasse, allowing them to get on and off the train quickly. Any rail replacement services that may be required are also better organised with new bus stops.
The ground floor of the new station building is home to businesses and restaurants. On the upper floors, 62 exclusive 2.5- to 4.5-room flats are available for rent, according to the press release.
“Our move to the new headquarters at Aarau railway station represents a milestone that not only improves processes and collaboration, but also increases our attractiveness as an employer,” said Dr Severin Rangosch, CEO of Aargau Verkehr, in the press release.
