Arnhem Centraal railway station is the largest
In 2006 a reconstruction of the complete station area started. In October of that year, a temporary station entrance opened, that could only be reached by three sets of stairs (or by elevators). On 2 July 2011, a new tunnel under the platforms opened. The temporary entrance closed down and dismantled in the autumn of 2011. As of that period the railway consists of four platforms including a footbridge connecting all platforms.
During the summer of 2011 a new dive under was created west of the station which allows trains to Nijmegen and Utrecht to underpass all tracks without interfering the other train services. All traffic on the western part of the station was completely suspended for five weeks. The dive under officially opened on 29 August 2011. The official re-opening of the completed station was on 19 November 2015, on this day the station was renamed ''Arnhem Centraal'', formerly it had just been ''Arnhem''.
