Assen city official Alex Langius said in February 2012 that the station is expected to be built south of the N33 road, between Assen railway station and Beilen railway station, along the existing Meppel-Groningen railway.

Langius described the station as an 'events station', meaning it would be used to transport train passengers to events such as those at motorsport race track TT Circuit Assen.

Langius said discussions are ongoing between Assen, Nederlandse Spoorwegen, ProRail and the provincial government.

It is planned to eventually transform Assen-Zuid into a full station with regular service.
