Several proposals have suggested extending this line to the Jerusalem city center and from there possibly to the [[Western Wall]] in the [[Old City of Jerusalem|Old City]].<ref name="yediot">{{Cite web|url=https://www.yediot.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4912365,00.html|title = תחנת הכותל: לצד החומות או מתחת לעיר העתיקה תחנת הכותל|date = 24 January 2017}}</ref> Initial plans called for a central Jerusalem station at the intersection of King George and Jaffa streets, under the "Pillars Building" (which from 1932 until the 1960s served as Jerusalem's central bus station) and its parking lot. This location would provide transfers to the [[Red Line (Jerusalem Light Rail)|Red Line]] and future Blue Line of the [[Jerusalem Light Rail]]. The station would be located 50m underground.<ref name="yediot"/> In July 2018 a slightly different location was proposed, 130&nbsp;m to the northwest, at the future "Benin Compound" to be built near the [[Davidka Square]], located approximately 1.4 km southeast of Navon railway station. Israel Railways submitted a legal objection asking that the compound's plan be modified to allow for an underground train station.<ref>http://mynetjerusalem.co.il/article/303798/5 {{Dead link|date=March 2022}}</ref> Since this location is at a higher elevation than the Pillars Building, the station would be deeper, 75m below ground level and nearly as deep as Navon station. In 2020 the government of Israel approved spending NIS 90 million to purchase rights in the future compound to permit for the construction of the station. From this future station the line is expected to continue underground to the southeast in the direction of the Old City, connecting to a large, shallow-underground station to be built nearby the historical [[Jerusalem railway station]]. ==References== {{reflist}} {{Israel Railways}} {{Jaffa Road}} {{coord missing|Israel}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Jerusalem-Central railway station}} [[Category:Proposed railway stations in Israel]] [[Category:Railway stations in Jerusalem]] [[Category:Railway stations located underground]] {{Israel-transport-stub}} {{Israel-struct-stub}}'
