Poortwachter tram stop

Poortwachter is a tram stop within the city of Amstelveen, Netherlands.

The stop lies along tram line 25, which was dubbed the Amsteltram before it received its line number.

[3][2] Poortwachter was earlier a stop for metro line 51, a hybrid metro/sneltram (light rail) service, and was the southern terminal of that line before it was extended to Westwijk in 2004.

Like a metro, the sneltram used high-level platforms.

Metro line 51 service south of Amsterdam Zuid station was closed in 2019 to rebuild stations for lower platforms in order to accommodate the new low-floor trams for line 25.
