History

The railway station Rotterdam Stadion was built in 1937, as a station on the Breda–Rotterdam railway. It was specially built for Stadion Feijenoord which opened earlier that year. It is not really much of a station, in fact it is a platform, between two pieces of railway track, giving it two platform tracks. A traverse makes it possible to go to the stadium. Due to hooliganism a special tube was built around the traverse to separate home and away supporters.

The future

Plans are being made for a new Feyenoord stadium, at the border of the Meuse. With the new stadium, comes a make-over of the whole area. In this plan, there will be a new, big Intercity station making it a public-transportation hub.

Train services

Shuttle train services from Rotterdam Centraal and Dordrecht operate when football matches or concerts take place in the stadium.
