History
Opened April, 2003

Kfar Saba – Nordau Railway Station (also known as Kostyuk and previously known as Hod Hasharon Station until March 2010) is a passenger railway station in Kfar Saba, Israel. It is the second stop of the suburban line from Hod HaSharon to Rishon LeZion. The station was opened on 13 April 2003. Eleven days later, on 24 April 2003, a suicide bomber approached the new train station and activated the bomb he was carrying, murdering Alexander Kostyuk, the security guard who had prompted him for identification, and wounding 13 others. The station was later named after Kostyuk who prevented the bomber from entering the station.

The station is located under Route 531 and accessed on HaTsabarim St at the town boundary of Kfar Saba and Hod HaSharon.
