nice and deep :yes:

That's some awesome architecture!

Very massive and modern. I think I'm in love. How much is this thing going to cost?

Cool! The Netherlands do need newer stations!

so, is this subway system going to be "country-wide?"

mooi man nooit gedacht dat het er van zou komen maar holland gaat eindelijk 'underground'

looks good :)

so, is this subway system going to be "country-wide?"

No, these are different systems. The one in Amsterdam is the new Noord-Zuidlijn (North-Southline), part of the citywide metro system.

The one in Rotterdam and The Hague is Randstadrail, a hybrid lightrail system, connecting to both the Rotterdam metro network as well as the Hague tram network.

Yeah, they all look great, but I'm especially fond of the Amsterdam Metro stations, nice, open and alot of glass!:cheers:

ziet er goed uit!
Weet iemand trouwens een goede site over de nieuwe spoortunnel van Delft?

omg the Wilhelminaplein station Rotterdam pedestrian tunnel looks soo futuristic!

zo goed (i think tahts how you say it :D)

ziet er goed uit!
Weet iemand trouwens een goede site over de nieuwe spoortunnel van Delft?

I'm sorry? :D

Looks good.

When I went to Holland I was very impressed with how they've incorporated the latest technology into mostly old cities (with the exception of Rotterdam of course), it all feels so modern but thats not at the expense of the cities character. Excellent transport system in Holland and those plans are truely awesome. The Randstad is easily the most advanced urban area that I've been to in Europe so far.

Randstadrail.

'Nesselande' Station, Rotterdam (new station on the 'Calandlijn' opened August 2005)

In November 2002, the ‘Benelux Line’ opened, a new 11,8 km long metro line between ‘Marconiplein’, the western underground terminus of the Caland Line and ‘Tussenwater’, a new interchange station in Hoogvliet, on the southern branch of the Erasmus Line. It runs via Schiedam, the new 'Benelux tunnel' (part of the important Dutch highway A4) and Pernis to Hoogvliet.

The six new stations of this line are designed by different architects.
From east to west:

Schiedam Centrum Station, Schiedam (interchange between Caland Line and Dutch National Railways)

In May of this year, Amsterdam opened its new ‘IJtram’ line 26, a new 8,5 km long tram line between the Central Station to the new IJburg – suburb on the east side of the city, built on artificial islands in the IJmeer lake. It runs via the old Eastern Docklands of Amsterdam, now converted into a new housing area.

The interchange stop ‘Rietlandpark’, where passengers can change for line 10, extended to the KNSM-island in May 2004, is a very interesting one. The line 26 platforms are situated under street level in a big open-air hole, just before the tramcars enter the 1,9 km long ‘Piet Heintunnel’ under the former ‘Spoorwegbassin’ harbour and the ‘Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal’ (canal).

On the aerial picture, the stop is visible left of the middle.

beautiful
:eek2:
dutch new stations are very cool and modern

Although it is no metro or light rail line, I will mention it here though. The ‘Zuidtangent’ is a bus line from Haarlem Station via Hoofddorp, Schiphol Airport and Amstelveen to Amsterdam Bijlmer Station. Between Haarlem Schalkwijk and the office area of Schiphol Noord it runs on a 25 km free bus lane via the village Vijfhuizen, the town of Hoofddorp and the central area of Schiphol Amsterdam Airport. It was opened in January 2002.

http://www.zuidtangent.nl/trace/images/kaart2.jpg

The bus stops on this bus lane are equipped with very colourful glass canopies, which look like they are folded. Unfortunately, their protection against the Dutch wind and the rain is not sufficient…

The platforms are painted in a special pattern.

When necessary, the bus lane can be easily converted into a light-rail line in the future.

Randstadrail (look at the map in Keezy's post on the first page of this thread) will get some other interesting stations. Most of them are quite simple, I will only take a look at the most interesting ones.

The new Leidschenveen Station, The Hague:

Voorweg Hoog Station, Zoetermeer:
(New platforms will be added at this crossing of the Zoetermeer loop)

http://www.randstadrail.nl/img/media/74_Popup.jpg

A new branch (Oosterheem Line) will be added to the Zoetermeer loop. Three new stations will be opened.

Another impression of the underground Blijdorp Station, Rotterdam:

And finally, I will pay some attention to the other new Amsterdam metro stations which Nemo didn't mention in his thread-opener ;).

Buikslotermeerplein, the northern terminus of the new North/South Line, situated between the lanes of the 'Nieuwe Leeuwarderweg' motorway:

http://ivv.asp4all.nl/live/bijlagen/noordzuidlijn/figuren/pop_up/impressies/bm2.jpg

Johan van Hasseltweg, also in the Northern part of Amsterdam, and accessible from the 'Meeuwenei' viaduct:

http://ivv.asp4all.nl/live/bijlagen/noordzuidlijn/figuren/pop_up/impressies/vg2.jpg

Ceintuurbaan Station, which will be one of the deepest stations in the Netherlands (together with Blijdorp in Rotterdam) Due to the narrow width of the street (Ferdinand Bolstraat) it will be necessary to place the tunnels on top of each other instead of next to each other :

Upper platform level (16,5 metres below street level) :

great ideas. i like it!!

Beautiful stations

I cannot fail to be impressed by the level of public transport development going on in Holland, it's just amazing!
It puts the UK to shame, we seriously need this level of investment to bring our cities up to scratch but the ammount of beaurocracy and bickering is just astounding!

Thanks for posting this information regarding the busway!
The busway is pretty damned cool- i saw it this past april on a flight to amsterdam from vienna. I remember when they started to build it (1999 or so?) but i thought it was going to be an LRT, but when i flew over and saw the busses, i made a double take! I honestly don't think that it has to be an LRT, that can follow later- the stations look decent as well!

If you think UK Transit is lacking, look at Toronto. We spent $ 1.1 billion on an white elephant of a line, which runs approx. 6 km's and to no-where- because they ran out of money- plus it was built in an area, which was semi-suburban!! We are in such a sad state when it comes to Public transit in this city, that we cannot even purchase new LRT's- let alone expand our underground/above ground systems..That is a shame..

What holland is doing is, what every sensible nation should be doing, investing in public transit infrastructure now, before the costs become unpayable, due to higher densities. This is also a very european way of thinking- plan and build...north america is...build everywhere, and have no public transit infrastructure and end up paying for it with huge amounts of grid-lock!!!

go-figure!

Though such renderings do often look better than reality -- it's definitely great news! More and more cities of the world seem to become aware of the benefits of good public transport design and architecture!

Cities with the most interesting arts and architecture in their stations: http://mic-ro.com/metro/metroart.html

Amazing. All of them are not only beautiful but also functional. I esspecially like the Rotterdam pedestian tunnel. I prefer the newer stations which are much bigger and more spacious than the first ones which was only a wider tunnel with a platform.

But our newest station in Warsaw is cool too :P

Mooie info @Mojito. :)

Den Haag station looks great! Gosh I miss that city!

What is the last situation in Amsterdam Centraal stn? Has train service been restored back to normal?

The train service was and is still normal. 2 things happened at Amsterdam Centraal recently:

1. Renovation old line from Amsterdam Centraal to Amsterdam Amstel during the summer. The metros are running as normal.
2. There were problems with the tram service, caused by problems at the underground station at Amsterdam Centraal. Service is running normal after a day.

wikipedia says that Centraal Stn is in reconstruction

It's in reconstruction indeed. A new subway line (North-South Line) is under construction and it will pass right under Central Station.

wikipedia says that Centraal Stn is in reconstruction

It certainly is, but train services are still running normal. They are building in, under, in front and back of the station. The platforms are not involved. The main hall and entrance to the platforms is partialy closed and entrance is closed. But it is a large station. Next to the main route to the platforms, it had 2 smaller routes, and 1 has being made even more wide as the old route.
