History

[edit]

The railway station opened here on 1 October 1908 as part of the Hofpleinlijn. As the nearby station Berkel was closed in 1965, the name of the Rodenrijs station was changed into Berkel en Rodenrijs. This station was closed on 3 June 2006 for refurbishment work to a RandstadRail metro station.[1]

The RandstadRail station opened on 10 September 2006 for the RET Erasmuslijn metro service, currently line E, now under the name of Rodenrijs again, as at the same time the new station Berkel Westpolder was opened.[2] The station features 2 platforms, that are the same height as the train doors.

In 2006 and 2007 the service was operated as a shuttle Rotterdam Hofplein - Nootdorp. The station lies in the south west of Rodenrijs. As of 2008 the service was after Nootdorp extended to The Hague Central station. In 2010 the route on the Rotterdam side changed to Rotterdam Central and in 2011 to Rotterdam Slinge.

Ten years after its opening, Rodenrijs station had a facelift. Waiting areas for passengers and parking spaces for bicycles were improved.[3]
