Jaama 14, Võru, 65604 Võru maakond, Estonia

The Võru train station is a suburban train station located in Võru, Estonia.

There is no passenger rail service to the station as of 2014. There was hope of having passenger trains stop at the station, but in 2010, the Estonian railways said they were not interested. Regardless, the station would have to be upgraded to meet current standards; it sits in disrepair with the windows boarded up.

History

The station dates from the Tsarist era. It is recognized as an historic structure by the Estonian government, with #1829.

A granite memorial plaque at the station commemorates the deportation by train of Estonian residents in June 1941 and March 1949 that passed through the railway station heading to Siberia. It reads "Passers-by, remember!".
