Kaarst IKEA station is a Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn station in the town of Kaarst in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It was opened as Holzbüttgen between 1954 and 1957 on the remaining part of the Neuss–Viersen railway, which was opened by the Rhenish Railway Company on 15 November 1877.[4] It was reopened as IKEA Kaarst (after the nearby IKEA store) on 26 September 1999 and given its current name on 16 June 2002.

The station is served by Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn line S 28 at 20-minute intervals[5] [6]

The station is served by one taxibus service, 861 (Holzbüttgen/Sandfeld – Neusser Str), operated by Busverkehr Rheinland at 60-minute intervals.[5]

After the IKEA store moved its location in 2017, the station was not renamed, but started to offer a shuttle bus service to the new IKEA store.[7] [8]
