Hoek van Holland Haven is a railway station in the town of Hoek van Holland in the Netherlands. The station serves the port, which connects the Netherlands with Great Britain; via this connection, Hoek van Holland Haven serves as the Dutch rail terminus of the Dutchflyer service (with Harwich International as the English terminus), connected by Stena Line catamaran.
In earlier days, the station was an important station for international trains to Germany and further. Since airline tickets have become much cheaper, the ferry between Harwich and Hoek van Holland is much less popular and there hasn't been an international train on the station in years.
Today, a commuter service to Rotterdam is operated every 30 minutes during the whole day. A 30 minutes service to Hoek van Holland Strand is operated during the summer season, during the winter season this service is reduced to one train per hour.
