The Lelylaan Station in Nieuw-West is undergoing a thorough refurbishment. The station will be made clearer and safer, and it will also be adapted to the growing number of travelers for the coming years. Work is expected to start in 2023.

During the refurbishment, the station hall will be enlarged and the hall will have a full glass facade. On the south side of the station there will be a guarded and covered bicycle shed for approximately 2800 bicycles. On the north side there will be a bicycle parking space for about a thousand bicycles, as a result of which the bicycle racks will disappear.
‘Complexity’
The tram stops at the stations are also being tackled. The stops under the viaduct on Cornelis Lelylaan will be made wider and more accessible. In addition, the station will have a ‘turning loop’, making it a terminus for trams from Nieuw-West and the center.
“The renewal of the Lelylaan station is urgently needed. It no longer meets current requirements. In addition, the number of travelers is expected to grow significantly in the next ten years. The renewal of the station will also significantly improve the quality of life and social safety in the area. the station environment”, says alderman Egbert de Vries (Traffic and Transport).
