Alenol Line

The Alenol Line (: Alenollijn; Tweants: Aleanolliende; : Alenollinie) is a line of the Twente S-bahn, connecting Ahaus in Germany and Oldenzaal with Enschede.

Together with the Winengron Line, the Alenol Line was one of the first two lines of the Twente S-bahn system to be opened, in 1956, and originally terminated at Alstätte before its extension to Ahaus in 2002. It was heavily affected by the 2000 Enschede fireworks disaster as it ran directly past the compound of. The stretch between Enschede Centraal and Deppenbroek was subsequently reconstructed underground. Due to the line's international nature, border checks used to be carried out at Broekheurne; these were discontinued after the establishment of the Schengen Area in 1995.
