The Hague Central Station

The Hague Central Station is the central station of the Hague. The Hague Central station is the largest Terminal station with twelve tracks of Netherlands. It was opened in 1975 two years after its completion, just next to the old train station Den Haag staatsspoor.

Direct trains between Amsterdam and Rotterdam, including those of the night network but not the international train service Thalys, come along the Hague. They are not along the Hague Central station and stop only on the Hague HS. The trains to and from Leiden and Amsterdam, which the Hague if start or end are in the Hague and not along HS. This makes for many travellers a somewhat impractical situation: coming from the South they should well know if they have to change in HS or in Central; coming from the North they can sometimes change the best in Lead. The current infrastructure hardly admits that Lead trains to Rotterdam via the Hague Central drive. Only the tracks 6 and 7 are accessible from all directions, in which a large number of tracks must be crossed.

Since 29 May 2000 is the drive by NS no longer referred to as the Hague CS, but if the Hague Central station.

[hide] *1 History  ==History[ Edit] == The oldest station of the Hague is not the Hague Central, but Den Haag Hollands Spoor (HS), that on the main connection Amsterdam – Rotterdam, and in 1843 was opened by the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij (HSM). Station the Hague HS to the old line was built just outside the built-up area, in a place who, at the time, even outside the municipality borders lay, on the territory of Rijswijk. In 1870 opened the Nederlandsche rhijnspoorweg-Maatschappij (NRS) a second station for the connection from the Hague to Gouda and Utrecht. This drive came to lie to another side of the city. In 1890 the concession of the Rhine railway was dissolved and taken over by the Society to exploitation of State Railways (SS). Rhine railway was renamed the Hague Den Haag staatsspoor. The name the Hague SS was so very established that this name even after the Second World War was maintained, while in other situations (for example, zip codes) the combination SS jealously is avoided.

When the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) in the early 1970s wanted to build a Central Station for the Hague, it was from railway operation the most obvious that to build on the site of the Hague HS. Came here after all the direct trains from Amsterdam to Rotterdam along. Arch of The connection For burg to be extended, then had to station Den Haag HS SS would be lifted and all trains would through the Hague HS drive. The municipality of the Hague, however, opposed it, because they wanted a station close to the Centre. When it was decided to build on the site of Central Station the Hague SS.

In 27 september 1973 was the construction of the new drive as far as advanced that the first part could be taken in use. State Rail Station could be closed and then be demolished to make room for the further construction of the new station. The Central Station was completed In 1975. There were arches built in 1975 connection of Den Haag Laan v NOI to the Hague Central Station (with a enkelspoor bow for the direction station Den Haag mariahoeve under the existing viaduct, to on the right side of the track to come out) and van Den Haag HS to the Hague Central Station (1976), so that trains from the directions Leiden, Rotterdam Central station and Rotterdam Hofplein could end up in the Hague Central. Starting from 1896 was here for a regular passenger service, but this was later abolished.

Only at night with the night network the Hague Central had a through train service. Since the beginning of the schedule for 2009, however, the night network trains stop in the Hague HS and drive them no longer via the Hague Central station. ==Prince Bernhard viaduct[ Edit] == The Prince Bernhard viaduct is a fixed road bridge over the tracks and platforms from the Hague Central station. On the South side there are stairs to the platforms. on the north side offers for buses and pedestrian access to the bus station. ==New Central<span class="mw-editsection" len="346" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == Temporary crane fixed to the crane to disassemble and to lift the parts about the building.<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Hague Central is currently grown, partly because of the arrival of Light Rail, but mainly because it is expected that the number of passengers will increase significantly over the next few years (up to approximately 250,000 per day). This project is part of the project the Hague the Hague a new central new Center.

The striking roof construction (about 120 at 100 meters and 22 meters high) is made of glass and steel.In the Hall there is much space for shops and restaurants. After the conversion is the station transformed into a so-called World station. The Hague is one of the new key projects (Nsps) of housing, spatial planning and environment, along with South of Amsterdam, Arnhem, Breda, Rotterdam and Utrecht.

The Ministry is investing extra money because of the high-speed line in these drives because they are the business cards of Netherlands for international travelers. Also in the immediate vicinity of the station is, for this reason, good built. The old Babylon shopping and office complex next to the station is rebuilt to New Babylon.
