Beurs is a major subway interchange station in the center of Rotterdam. Underneath Churchill Square (Dutch: Churchillplein), the two lines (Calandlijn and Erasmuslijn) intersect. Passengers for Rotterdam Central Station change here if they started their journey on the Calandlijn.
All destinations within the network are accessible from Beurs. In 2009, it will be incorporated into the new RandstadRail network, resulting in a direct connection to The Hague.
History -
Station Beurs opened February 9, 1968 on the North-South Line (now called Erasmuslijn). On May 6, 1982 a new station, Churchillplein, was opened nearby on the new East-West Line (now the Calandlijn). Both stations were connected by an underground walkway. In 2000, this separate naming was abandoned. For a while, signs in the Calandlijn-portion of the station still had 'Churchillplein' in a smaller font below 'Beurs', but this has recently been removed.
