Vejle Station

English below

I begyndelsen af 1860’erne så det længe ud til, at Vejle ikke skulle blive en stationsby, da banelinjen var planlagt til at gå vest om byen. Men blandt andre Orla Lehmann meldte sig ind i kampen for at få banen gennem Vejle, og den 4. oktober 1868 kunne banestrækningen Fredericia-Vejle-Horsens officielt indvies.

Ved Vejle Station ligger også Vejle Trafikcenter, som er hovednerven i byens bussystem. Herfra kører bybusserne og rutebilerne næsten hele døgnet rundt.

I middelalderen lå der en kongelig borg, hvor busstationen i dag ligger, den såkaldte “Castrum Wethæl” (Vejleborgen).

I the early 1860s it was decided that the railway would run on the west side of Vejle, but many people argued, that this would be the dead of Vejle as a provincial town, the railway station was opened on the October 4th 1868.

In the same building as the railway station is also the bus station. In the Middle Ages a castle was laying here.
