[edit] History

Be'er Sheva North/University Railway Station was opened with one platform on 29 March 1956 (as Be'er Sheva Station). As the only station in Beer Sheva, it served as the gateway to the Negev.^[1] In 2002 it was decided to relocate the station 350 metres away with an additional island platform. The opening of the new station (with its current name) serves as a catalyst for growth in the region.^[2]
