Amiens station, also called Gare du Nord, has a present structure designed by Auguste Perret and built in 1955, though the infobox lists no architect. The article gives no start date, style, materials or owner. The station first opened on March 15, 1847, when the line to Abbeville began passenger service.
German shelling razed it in World War I, and it was rebuilt. Allied forces destroyed it again in World War II. The article says the hall is about as large as its Paris counterparts and the concourse spans six platforms. The station front is built between neighboring buildings, and the nearby Tour Perret was built at the same time.
Buildings in the station district were registered as a historic monument in 2004. It is the main station for Amiens, served by TER trains, with 7,395,165 passengers in 2024. There is no TGV service. The article gives no hours.
