Gevelsberg Hauptbahnhof (usually translated from German as Gevelsberg Central Station, short form: Gevelsberg Hbf) is a railway station in the municipality of Gevelsberg in western Germany.
[edit] Operational usage
The station is unique in the fact that it is the only Hauptbahnhof in Germany that is served exclusively by S-Bahn trains. This is because Gevelsberg as a municipality is a relatively recent creation, and traditionally Ennepetal (Gevelsberg) on the direct line from Wuppertal to Hagen carries most of the regional and mid-distance traffic for Ennepetal and Gevelsberg. Whilst Gevelsberg Hbf therefore is more central to Gevelsberg, it does not offer any connections other than the S8 trains running in 20-minute intervals, making it one of the least busy train stations in Germany.
