Ashdod Ad Halom Metropol railway station

Ashdod–Ad Halom–Metropol railway station is a railway station in Ashdod, Israel. It is served by the Binyamina–Tel Aviv–Ashkelon and the Ra'anana–Tel Aviv–Ashkelon–Beersheba suburban lines. Ashdod Ad Halom Station was opened in June 1995 and was fully rebuilt in 2003. Between 1917 and 1947, a small station serving the town of Isdud had also operated at the site, constructed by the British on the Rafah–Gaza–Lydda line. The station is located in the Ad Halom area, near the southeastern entrance to Ashdod. It sits adjacent to the BIG Terminal bus station, named after the nearby BIG shopping center. The station is served by BRT Line 1, which connects to the central bus station in the City/HaKirya Quarter via a circular route. Until 2013 the travel time from the station to Tel Aviv was 45 minutes. However, since the completion of the new railway through Holon and the new Yavne West Railway Station on 4 August 2013 the travel time from Tel Aviv to the station has been reduced to approximately 35 minutes in each direction. The station was electrified in February 2021. The station contains a small beverage and refreshment kiosk.
