Amstelveen Centrum Metro Station
Amstelveen Centrum was a metro station in Amstelveen on metro line 51, a hybrid metro/''sneltram'' (light rail) route that used high-floor trams. The station served the Amstelveen Stadshart shopping mall. The station closed on 3 March 2019 and was subsequently demolished. After closure, the metro line south of Amsterdam Zuid station, also known as the ''Amstelveenlijn'', was converted for low-floor trams. Today, there is no tram stop at the site. Since its opening in 9 December 2020, the trams of line 25 have been bypassing the site without stopping; however, line 5 trams continue to serve Stadshart. In order to increase reliability and reduce travel time on the rebuilt line, five line 51 stations, including Amstelveen Centrum, were demolished instead of being rebuilt as stops for low-floor trams. The former metro station site is from the rebuilt Ouderkerkerlaan tram stop, and from the Oranjebaan tram stop. The former metro station was also from the Stadshart stop used by t ...
