Location

Sacharovlaan was earlier a stop for metro line 51, a hybrid metro/sneltram (light rail) service, that opened to Sacharovlaan and Westwijk in 2004. Like a metro, the sneltram used high-level platforms. Metro service south of Amsterdam Zuid station was closed in 2019 to lower platforms to accommodate the new low-floor trams for line 25.^[1]
