Location

Hoek van Holland Haven (Hook of Holland Harbour) is a metro station in the Netherlands. Trains connect with the Stena Line Dutchflyer boat service to Harwich International in England. Until 1 April 2017, this station was a railway station served by Nederlandse Spoorwegen. It is currently closed for reconstruction to metro operations until February 2018.

In the past, the station was of importance because it was close to the Hook of Holland Port. It offered many international services to Germany and beyond. The international train services ceased for some years, although Hoek van Holland Haven retains four 400 m (440 yd) platforms for such trains.

The Boat Train service between Amsterdam and Hoek van Holland ended in December 2006.

Until 2017, a commuter service from Rotterdam Centraal railway station operated every 30 minutes. The service continued to Hoek van Holland Strand railway station, 600 metres further on, during the summer season, reduced during the winter season to one train per hour and only between 11:00 and 16:00.

Being currently closed for reconstruction, the station has no regular train services. There are replacement buses operated by Rotterdamse Elektrische Tram.
