History

The railway station opened here on 1 October 1908 as part of the Hofpleinlijn. This station was closed on 3 June 2006 for conversion to a RandstadRail metro station.

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 centre of Pijnacker, near the Oostlaan.

In 2017 a pilot project was proposed to have a night-time metro service from Rotterdam to Pijnacker. [2] The municipal council rejected the stop at Pijnacker-Centrum station for the night service because of noise pollution. [3]
