The Schiedam–Hoek van Holland railway (also called the Hoekse Lijn) is a former railway line and future rapid transit line of the Rotterdam Metro between Schiedam and Hoek van Holland along the Nieuwe Maas, in the west of the Netherlands. The line is also an important freight railway. It is 24 kilometers (15 miles) long. HistoryOn 17 August 1891, the first section between Schiedam Centrum and Maassluis was opened as a heavy-rail line. The section between Maassluis and Hoek van Holland Strand followed on 1 June 1893. In 1935, the entire route was electrified. The Stena Line provides a ferry service to Harwich International Port in Harwich, England from the Hoek van Holland Haven station. Formerly, other international train services used the line, as far as Moscow or Berlin; travellers can easily change at Hoek van Holland to the ferry. Since the opening of the Eurotunnel, the importance of this line has decreased sharply. On 31 March 2017, the last passenger trains of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen operated on the line; they have been replaced by a bus service until the line reopens in 2019[1] as part of the Rotterdam Metro. The overhead electrification system is being converted to 750 V DC and the railway stations to metro standards. Also, in Maassluis, a new station, Steendijkpolder, is being constructed, but plans for additional intermediate stations in Schiedam and Hoek van Holland have not been specified. The Hoek van Holland Strand station will also be moved closer to the beach, as the name suggests. ServicesUntil 2017, there were five Sprinter trains per hour from Rotterdam Centraal station to Maassluis West and half-hourly services to Hoek van Holland Haven. In the peak season, all trains usually terminating at Maassluis West were extended to Hoek van Holland Haven, and the service between Rotterdam Centraal and Vlaardingen Centrum was increased to every 7.5 minutes. Service to Hoek van Holland Strand was only provided every hour during the summer months. Between April 2017 and February 2018, four rail-replacement bus lines (711, 712, 156 and 713) run alongside the regular bus lines (56 and 57). These services are being operated by RET. Rail-replacement services were originally scheduled to run only until September 2017; however, unforeseen events have caused a delay in re-opening the track until at least February 2018. These include more soil contamination and asbestos than anticipated as well as finding cables which had not been documented during preliminary investigations and which had to be removed or, for the ones which were still active, moved.[1]. Metro line B from Nesselande will be extended at 10-minute intervals from Schiedam to Hoek van Holland Haven, half of which will terminate at Maassluis West (and later at Maassluis Steendijkpolder). Furthermore, metro line A will provide a service from Binnenhof to Vlaardingen West. The line will remain open to freight trains, retaining a connection to the national rail network at Schiedam. Expected opening of the line to Hoek van Holland is not before the end of March 2019.[2] Stations
