Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA (Asb) is a railway station in the Bijlmermeer neighbourhood of the Amsterdam Zuidoost stadsdeel (borough) of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The station has five platforms and eight tracks; two for the Amsterdam Metro and six train tracks, along with a bus station.
Originally opened in 1971, the station has been rebuilt twice. In July 2007, a large part of the rebuilding was completed and in October 2007 the station will be fully opened.
The station will arch over the ArenA Boulevard. The complex is almost 100 metres tall, 70 metres wide, and 7 metres tall. It will be mostly transparent, to blend in to the rest of the Boulevard.[1]
The metro lines that stop at this station are Metroline 54 (Amsterdam Centraal - Gein) and Metroline 50 (Isolatorweg - Gein).
On December 10, 2006 the name was changed from Amsterdam Bijlmer to Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA, to match the ArenA Boulevard, the area in which the station is located.[2] It is close to the Amsterdam ArenA, home of AFC Ajax, the Heineken Music Hall and Amsterdamse Poort, the largest shopping centre in the city.
