History

The station opened, as a railway station, on 22 May 1977 as part of the Zoetermeerlijn, operating Zoetermeer Stadslijn services. [1] The train station closed on 3 June 2006 and reopened as a RandstadRail station on 29 October 2006 for the HTM tram services (4), and on 20 October 2007 for tram service 3. [2]

The reopened station featured three platforms. These platforms are low and the same level as the tram doors. There is a terminating platform for RR3 services starting at Centrum-West towards Dorp, and two through platforms for westbound services towards Voorweg and Den Haag, and eastbound services towards Stadhuis. An additional terminating platform was later added.

Passengers from Den Haag can change at this station for Dorp, Delftsewallen and Driemanspolder and vice versa, to get there quicker.

The Dutch television programme Opsporing Verzocht (Wanted) of 8 November 2023 aired surveillance camera images and requested tips to identify two persons who assaulted a train driver on Centrum-West station on 2 November 2023. [3]
