There are three railway stations:
* Two stations on the [[Longueau–Boulogne railway|Paris-Boulogne]] and [[Amiens–Rouen railway|Amiens – Rouen]] lines:
*The [[Gare d'Amiens|Amiens station]], main station, known as ''Gare du Nord'', in memory of the [[French Northern Railway|Compagnie du Nord]] who created it. Every day, 15,000 travelers use its seven lines.<ref name="bedel">Benoit Delespierre, ''Longueau, l'autre gare d'Amiens'', ''Courrier picard'', 11 avril 2013.</ref>
*The [[Gare de Saint-Roch (Somme)|station of Saint-Roch]]

Connections from these two stations include to [[Gare de Lille-Flandres|Lille]] via [[Arras, France|Arras]] and [[Douai]], to [[Boulogne]] via [[Abbeville]], to Paris-Nord via [[Creil]] or [[Compiègne]], to [[Reims]] via [[Tergnier]], and to [[Rouen]].
* A station located on the [[Paris–Lille railway|Paris – Lille line]] in [[Longueau]] serving the south of Amiens and the communes of Longueau, [[Cagny, Somme|Cagny]], and [[Boves, Somme|Boves]]
*[[Gare de Longueau|Longueau station]], a passenger station of the historic railway hub in [[Longueau]]. Every day, 2,500 travellers use its two lines.<ref name="bedel" />
* {{interlanguage link|Gare de Montières|fr|lt=Montieres station}}, station assigned to the freight traffic, it serves only the industrial zone of Amiens. This station is located on the former railway line of [[Doullens]].

Many regional and extra regional links (Normandie, Grand Est and Île-de-France) pass through Amiens, especially by [[TER Hauts-de-France]].

A station located {{convert|45|km|mi}} from Amiens, the [[Gare TGV Haute-Picardie|Haute-Picardie TGV station]], allows access to the [[TGV]] network. It is served by buses from Amiens. Its isolated character earned it the name of ''gare des betteraves'', or ''gare betteraves'', at the time of its construction.<ref>This expression, which dates from before 2004, is due to a Socialist politician from the [[Haute-Vienne]], {{interlanguage link|Jacques Santrot|fr}}, the expression which was then adopted by a geographer, Jean-François Troin, which also cited the TGV stations of [[Vendôme]], [[Mâcon]], and [[Le Creusot]]. {{cite web|url=http://www.lorraine.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/Rapport_Adielor_Phase_2_cle817d73.pdf|title=Analyse de l'impact du TGV-Est sur les agglomérations de Metz, Nancy, Épinal et Thionville|page=33|id=rapport de phase 2, I.S.I.S.
