Ra'anana West railway station is an Israel Railways passenger station being constructed in the median of Highway 531, between the cities of Ra'anana and Herzliya, as part of the Sharon Railway.
The addition of this station and its sister station Ra'anana South will reduce the travel time for Ra'anana residents to Tel-Aviv to approximately 11 minutes. The station is scheduled to open in January 2019.
The station building is located at ground level west of Route 541 (Derech Yerushalayim) and north of Highway 531, and will only be accessible from the Ra'anana side of the highway.
The station building has the shape of a book lying on its side. Its floor area is 600m², and is connected through a 50m footbridge with the platforms, which are below ground level. Each platform is 300m long.
