Travellers will soon be able to use an improved train and bus station at Schiphol. Schiphol Airport train station has become one of the five largest stations in the Netherlands. To create sufficient capacity and ensure safety for the growing number of public transport users, adjustments are necessary.
A large number of the stairs and escalators at Schiphol Airport station have been adapted, and the elevators have been replaced. The stairs in the facade have also been replaced. These adjustments will create more free space on the platforms, allowing passengers to board and disembark more quickly and improving the flow of passengers on the platforms. The renovation is one of the steps to improve Schiphol's accessibility as a multimodal hub.
Three new staircases will soon connect the train platforms directly to the bus station above, making it easier to transfer from train to bus and vice versa.
The Train Platforms sub-project is responsible for the renewal of the existing escalators and stairs to Plaza and for the creation of three new escalators and stairs to the bus station. Furthermore, we are improving fire safety and the provision of information for travellers.
This sub-project will create a safer train station with more space for travellers. During the period of works, travellers can continue to make use of the train station. However, one or more of the escalators/stairs between the platforms and Plaza will sometimes temporarily be out of use.
