Hoek van Holland Strand Station - a photo on Flickriver

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Hoek van Holland, Line B, North Sea, Hoek van Holland Strand Station (uncut)

The former 'Hoekse Lijn'—the NS railway line Rottedam-Hoek van Holland—has been converted to light rail and is now an integral part of the Rotterdam metro system. The line, which is being exploited by the Rotterdam municipal public transit organization RET is now called 'Line B' (Hoek van Holland to Nesselandse).

Like the other western stations of this line, Hoek van Holland Strand (Beach), the terminus, was designed by Marc Verheijen of Municipal Works Rotterdam (Gemeentewerken Rotterdam). He used colours to create stylistic unity. Along the line, he presents the voyager with different shades of yellow. The specific colour scheme of the terminus station shown here is meant to refer to the beach and the sunset.

A capture of the station a half year before completion (November 2022) is here.

This is number 735 of the Rotterdam architecture album and 37 of the Metro stations.
