Finally! This train stop will mean a lot to our residents and travelers.
Senna Maatoug, Alderman for Mobility in the municipality of Utrecht
Utrecht Leidsche Rijn is one of the most important public transport hubs on the outskirts of Utrecht. The province of Utrecht and the municipality of Utrecht will improve this public transport network in the coming years because the number of inhabitants and therefore also the number of travelers is growing. We do this with the extra train stops on Leidsche Rijn, but also because of more and better bus connections and partial mobility at this station. We also improve the walking routes and tackle the bicycle parking facilities. For the bus station we work in 2025 and 2026 on better blind guidelines, better shelter against rain and wind, more greenery and a better crossing between train and bus.
Andre van Schie, Deputy Mobility of the province of Utrecht
