Location

Hoofddorp is a railway station in Hoofddorp, Noord Holland, the Netherlands. The station is on the Amsterdam - Schiphol - Leiden Centraal - Den Haag - Rotterdam main line.

History

This is actually the second station in Hoofddorp; there was an earlier one nearer the town centre for the Haarlemmermeerspoorlijn (Aalsmeer - Haarlem and Hoofddorp - Leiden), which is now in residential use. This station opened in 1912 and closed in 1935.

The current station opened on 31 May 1981. The station was rebuilt in 1998 to its current look.

Hoofdorp has a depot/sidings further west from the station, this is the reason many stoptrains start here. Intercity trains terminating at Schiphol also come to this depot before returning. The station has 2 2-track-platforms and has 6 tracks. There are several bus stops below the station and the ZuidTangent 300 and 310 are stopping at platform level next to it.
