History

The station opened, as a railway station, on 22 May 1977 as part of the Zoetermeerlijn, operating Zoetermeer Stadslijn services. The train station closed on 3 June 2006 and reopened as a RandstadRail station on 29 October 2006 for the HTM tram services (4), and on 20 October 2007 for tram service 3.

The station features 3 platforms, these platforms are low, and the same level as the tram doors. The terminating platform is for RR3 services starting at Centrum West and then stopping at Dorp, Delftsewallen etc. The two through tracks are: Westbound - towards Voorweg and Den Haag, and the Eastbound platform for services to Zoetermeer Javalaan and the Stadslijn. These services call at Stadhuis and Palenstein etc. These two tracks are for RR3 and RR4 services.
