Rotterdam Centraal station to be modified for Eurostar services

Work to adapt Rotterdam Centraal station to accommodate Eurostar’s future Amsterdam–London services has begun, VolkerRail announced on January 31. The work is being undertaken by VolkerRail and Arcadis on behalf of infrastructure manager ProRail.

During a nine-week possession tracks will be realigned and a platform which currently faces track 1 will be widened by 4 m to face onto track 2, providing an extra 3 000 m2 of space to separate passenger who have passed through security screening. The contract includes changes to signalling and control systems. Completion is planned for March 26.
