The Nederlandse Spoorwegen stopped operating the line, including Hoek van Holland Strand railway station, on 1 April 2017, and the line was transferred to the Rotterdam Metro. After reconstruction of the rail infrastructure and the facilities, the opening of the replacement metro line B station is expected in Spring 2021, at which time it will become the new western terminus of the line.[1] Metro line B service opened as far as the preceding station, Hoek van Holland Haven metro station, on 30 September 2019.[2]
