Utrecht Vaartsche Rijn Location within Northeastern Randstad |
Vaartsche Rijn is a railway station in the Dutch city of Utrecht. It is situated on the railway lines between Utrecht and Arnhem and between Utrecht and 's-Hertogenbosch.[1] Construction started in September 2010[2] and after some delays was officially opened at 23 August 2016. The station was built as part of ProRail's Randstadspoor project to improve suburban rail travel.[1][3] Six to eight thousand riders are expected to use the station each day.[2]
The station has 4 tracks with 2 island platforms,[1] 3 underground pedestrian passages and space for 650 bicycles and 200 cars.[2] The platforms can be reached by stairs or transparent lifts, and are sheltered with roofs made of wood. The station is built six meters above street level.[4]
On 14 December 2019, line 22 (the Uithoflijn) of the Utrecht sneltram (light rail) system opened from Utrecht Centraal to the Uithof district[5] with a stop at Vaartsche Rijn station. The stop has two side platforms.[4]
