History

Almere Oostvaarders is the newest station in Almere, opened on 12 December 2004. In 1988 when the Almere Buiten - Lelystad section was built a 4 track viaduct was built and they planned to build a station called 'Almere Buiten Oost' which translates as Almere Buiten East.Before the station was built the Stoptrain Amsterdam-Almere Oostvaarders terminated at Almere Buiten. The four tracks at Almere Oostvaarders were used by the driver walking through the train to start a service again at Almere Buiten.

The station is located in the newest polder in the Netherlands, the Flevopolder which is in the Flevoland province.

Almere has become a commuter city for Amsterdam. The first house was built in 1976 and on 7 July 2008, it was recorded that there were 184 405 citizens living in Almere. The station lies in the centre of the 'Oostvaarders' development.
