The Nederlandse Spoorwegen stopped operating the line, including Hoek van Holland Strand railway station, on 1 April 2017, and the line was transferred to the Rotterdam Metro. After reconstruction of the rail infrastructure and the facilities, the opening of the replacement metro line B station is expected in 2022, at which time it will become the new western terminus of the line.[1] Metro line B service opened as far as the preceding station, Hoek van Holland Haven metro station, on 30 September 2019.[2]

The new station will be much closer to the beach, so further west, than the original station.

Train services

Currently closed for reconstruction, the station has no regular service.
