Vlaardingen Centrum is a metro station in Vlaardingen in the Netherlands. The station is located on the Schiedam–Hoek van Holland railway.

History

Vlaardingen Centrum was first opened as a train station on 17 August 1891.

The Nederlandse Spoorwegen stopped operating the line, including Vlaardingen Centrum railway station, on 1 April 2017 to enable conversion for metro train operations. The station was reopened by RET on 30 September 2019, with preview services operating on 28 September.[1] The station had a yard connected that was used during the early days of the Schiedam-Hoek van Holland railway (Hoekse Lijn). Later the yard got abandoned and removed during the train-metro transition.
