Location

Hoek van Holland Haven is a railway station in the Netherlands. Trains connect with the Stena Line Dutchflyer boat service to Harwich International in England.

The station was previously an important station for international trains to Germany and beyond. Since airline tickets have become much cheaper, the ferry between Harwich and Hoek van Holland is much less popular and no international trains have run from the station for some years, although Hoek van Holland Haven retains four 400 m (440 yd) platforms for such trains.

A commuter service from Rotterdam Centraal railway station operates every 30 minutes. The service continues to Hoek van Holland Strand railway station, 600 metres further on, during the summer season, reduced during the winter season to one train per hour and only between 11:00 and 16:00.

The 'Boat Train' service between Amsterdam and Hoek van Holland ended in December 2006.
