Haarlemmermeer station

To the left of the main building is an extension with the former second-class waiting room / station restoration (now cafe).

The architect of Leiden Heerensingel (Karel de Bazel) has worked in the design of this station.

The building was handed over to the Zuid district by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen in the 1990s and has undergone a refurbishment.

The building is located on the Amstelveenseweg in Amsterdam-Zuid and is the starting point of the former railway line to Amstelveen – Aalsmeer / Uithoorn.

After the closure, the Haarlemmermeer station and the line to Amstelveen – Bovenkerk came to use from 1975 at the Electrische Museumtramlijn Amsterdam (EMA).

During the construction of the Schiphol line, part of the route was again used from 1976 to 1981 for the supply of building materials and trainsets.

Behind the station building was the railway yard where the trains left for Aalsmeer and Uithoorn.

After the closure of the railroad for freight service in 1972, the former place developed into a business park, a kind of 'fringe' of the city.

There was also a roundabout on which the Amstelveenseweg, Cornelis Krusemanstraat, Bernard Kochstraat and Havenstraat will be launched.
