Pijnacker Zuid is a RandstadRail station located in Pijnacker, the Netherlands.[1]

History[edit]

The RandstadRail station opened on 10 September 2006 for the RET Erasmuslijn metro service, currently line E. The station features 2 platforms, that are the same height as the train doors.

In 2006 and 2007 the service was operated as a shuttle Rotterdam Hofplein - Nootdorp. The station lies in the very south of Pijnacker, near a new housing development, Klapwijk where there will be 3400 new homes. In 2022 a new housing development next to Pijnacker Zuid station was announced with 330 homes.[2]

In 2020 a new turning track was built just south of Pijnacker Zuid.[3] This enabled RET to extend metro line D to Pijnacker Zuid during peak hours.[4]
