History

[edit]

The station opened on 25 November 1970 as part of a one-station extension of the North-South Line (also formerly called Erasmus line). It improved the accessibility of Pendrecht. [1] It has two platforms and three running tracks; the inner track is only used by trains terminating at Slinge, while the other trains use the outer two tracks.
