After closure, the metro line south of Amsterdam Zuid station, often called the Amstelveenlijn, was converted for low-floor trams.

Since its opening in 9 December 2020, the trams of line 25 have been bypassing the site without stopping.

[1][2][3] In order to increase reliability and reduce travel time on the rebuilt line, five line 51 stations, including Gondel, were demolished instead of being rebuilt as stops for low-floor trams.

The former metro station site is 350 metres (1,150 ft) from the rebuilt Meent tram stop and 800 metres (2,600 ft) from the Sportlaan tram stop.

Gondel used to serve the Waardhuizen and Middenhoven residential areas.
