The train station here is called Castellum
- Role: backdrop
- In the video: The station of Houten’s second phase is styled as a Roman fort with a moat and bridges; the narrator later criticises the cramped area around it and the car access to its parking.
- Why it matters: A concrete example of the second phase’s showier architecture and of its design flaws; minor.
