Coolhaven metro station

(Redirected from Coolhaven (Rotterdam Metro))

Coolhaven is an underground subway station in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. It is served by Rotterdam Metro lines A, B, and C. The station, with one island platform, opened on 10 May 1982 as the western terminus of the East-West Line (also formerly called Calandlijn). Coolhaven was the terminus until 1986, when the line was extended to Marconiplein.[1] The station is named for the adjacent Coolhaven harbour basin. It also has images of Rotterdam along its platforms.[2]
