Hoofddorp is a railway station in Hoofddorp, Netherlands. The station is on the Amsterdam - Schiphol - Leiden Centraal - Den Haag - Rotterdam main line.

History

This is actually the second station in Hoofddorp; Earlier Hoofddorp had a station nearer to the town centre at the ceased Haarlemmermeerspoorlijn (Aalsmeer - Haarlem and Hoofddorp - Leiden). This station opened in 1912 and closed in 1935. The old station is still in use as a residence.

The current station opened on 31 May 1981. The station was rebuilt in 1998 to its current look.

Hoofddorp has a depot/sidings further west from the station, this is the reason many sprinter services have their terminus over here.
