Trainstation Halfweg-Zwanenburg ready at the end of 2011

The new NS-station Halfweg-Zwanenburg is a fact. Ever since mid-December two sprinters will stop at this station each hour. District Noord-Holland, NS, ProRail and the local authorities Haarlemmermeer, Haarlemmerliede and Spaarnwoude have reached an agreement for this purpose.

The station is situated alongside the tracks between the stations Haarlem Spaarnwoude and Amsterdam Sloterdijk. The local authorities Haarlemmerliede and Spaarnwoude contain all the essential provisions in the public space. There will be a combination track in front of pedestrians and cyclists at the area of SugarCity between the bridge that will be built across the Ringvaart and the station. The plaza and a good accessibility from the station will be an important part of that. The community also takes care of a parking area with a capacity of 150 parking-lots. The parking area is situated within a distance of 250 m from the entrance of the station with a direct connection to it.
