Leidschenveen is the RandstadRail station in the centre of Leidschenveen in the neighbourhood Leidschenveen-Ypenburg in The Hague, Netherlands. The station features 2 platforms on a viaduct. These have a high and a low platform, with tram lines RandstadRail 3 and RandstadRail 4 using the lower platforms, and metro line E using the higher platforms. Leidschenveen is the station where the metro and the tram lines split, with the metro (line E) continuing to Rotterdam, while the trams (3 & 4) continue to Zoetermeer.[1]

History

[edit]

Leidschenveen opened as a RandstadRail station on 29 October 2006 for the HTM tram services (4) and for the RET metro service (line E), and on 20 October 2007 for tram service 3. In 2014 a pilot study focused on means to reduce litter, prompting measures that improved the perception of cleanliness.[2] Neighbourhood organizations complained in 2020 about safety issues related to loitering teens.[3]
