Ashdod Ad Halom Railway Station

Ashdod Ad Halom Railway Station (also known as Ashdod Darom) is a railway station in Ashdod, Israel. It is on the suburban line Binyamina/Netanya - Tel Aviv - Rehovot/Ashkelon. Ashdod Ad Halom Station was opened in June 1995 and was fully rebuilt in 2003. Starting in 1917 a small station also operated at the site during the Mandate period on the Beirut–Cairo line.

The station is located in Ad Halom area near the eastern entrance to the city of Ashdod. Two bus lines serve the station, one travelling through the 'city' to the central bus station and on to the terminus at Ashdod Marina. In December 2006, it served a daily average of 4,070 passengers.

Current travel time from the station to Tel Aviv is approximately 45 minutes. However, an extension to the new railway line currently being built through Holon and Yavne (West) will shorten the travel time from Tel Aviv to the station by a third — to approximately 30 minutes in each direction.

The station contains a small beverage and refreshment kiosk.
