Bucharest North railway station is the main
railway station in Bucharest and the largest railway station in Romania. The
vast majority of mainline trains to and from Bucharest originate from this
station. The station was built in 1872. The
station and its surroundings were heavily bombed by the Allies in April 1944
during a campaign aimed at the German supply lines, since the station played an
important part in the Romanian railway network and was the main departure point
for troops headed to the Eastern Front.
The
station has 14 tracks and 8 platforms. The
building is simillar to the Nothern Railway Station from Paris. The railway
station serves national and international routes (daily routes to Wien, Sofia,
Budapest, Bratislava, Thesalonik, Chisinau, Moscow, Warsaw, Belgrad etc).
