=== Rail === [[File:001-1211 Enschede 001.JPG|thumb|300x300px|[[Enschede railway station]]]] [[Enschede railway station|Enschede]] is a terminus [[railway station|station]] of the [[Nederlandse Spoorwegen]] (NS) [[railway]] lines from the west. Trains operate to [[Hengelo railway station|Hengelo]], [[Almelo railway station|Almelo]], [[Zwolle railway station|Zwolle]], [[Deventer railway station|Deventer]], [[Apeldoorn railway station|Apeldoorn]], [[Amersfoort Centraal railway station|Amersfoort Centraal]], [[Hilversum railway station|Hilversum]], [[Amsterdam Zuid railway station|Amsterdam Zuid]], [[Schiphol Airport railway station|Schiphol Airport]], [[Utrecht Centraal railway station|Utrecht Centraal]] and [[Den Haag Centraal railway station|Den Haag Centraal]]. To the east there is a line to [[Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia|Gronau]], [[Germany]], which has two more stations in the Netherlands: [[Enschede De Eschmarke railway station|Enschede De Eschmarke]] and [[Glanerbrug railway station|Glanerbrug]]. The latter two have low ridership.{{citation needed|date=September 2019}} The line is served by [[DB Regionalbahn Westfalen]] (part of the [[Germany|German]] [[Deutsche Bahn]]), to [[Münster]] and to [[Dortmund]], each on an hourly interval and alternating half-hours in the service to [[Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia|Gronau]]. There is no track connection between the two systems. The through line had been retained for eventual [[NATO]] use during the [[Cold War]] even after through passenger service was ended (September 1981), although it was in serious disrepair in later years. With the renewal of service to Germany (May 2001) the track was severed; there is a gap of about 30 centimeters between them<ref>[http://www.et.fh-muenster.de/eisenbahn/Gronau_Enschede.html] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080622042942/http://www.et.fh-muenster.de/eisenbahn/Gronau_Enschede.html|date=22 June 2008}}</ref> which means that Enschede is now a "double terminus station" with tracks to the West (the Netherlands) and to the East (Germany) but with no connection between them. There is also [[Enschede Kennispark railway station]], near the football stadium.
