History

Maassluis station was opened on 17 August 1891 by the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij as part of the opening of the Schiedam–Hoek van Holland railway, also known as the Hoekse Lijn. The HSM was subsequently merged into Nederlandse Spoorwegen in 1938.

The station building was replaced by the current building in 1980.

NS stopped operating the line, including Maassluis railway station, on 1 April 2017 to enable conversion for metro train operations. The station was reopened by RET on 30 September 2019, with preview services operating on 28 September.^[1]
