Not far from Rotterdam, on the beach of Hoek van Holland, just 40 meters from the North Sea, a metro station has opened, according to RailTech.com.
The uniqueness of the station is in its close proximity to the seashore. During the design and construction, the climatic features of the location were taken into account and protective measures were created from sand, salt and wind.
“All the inconvenience for passengers is behind us, let summer come!” commented a representative of the municipality.
