ProRail to replace all elevators at Haarlem station

ProRail is replacing all elevators at Haarlem station due to the equipment reaching the end of its service life, with work scheduled from September 18 through June. Passengers requiring elevator access to track 1 are advised to use Heemstede-Aerdenhout station, with ProRail providing free taxi transfers during the construction.

ProRail has announced a comprehensive project to replace all elevators at Haarlem station as the existing units have reached the end of their functional lifespan. The renewal process is scheduled to begin on September 18 and will continue in phases through June of next year, starting with the lift serving track 1. While platforms remain accessible via stairs, passengers who rely exclusively on elevator access are advised to use Heemstede-Aerdenhout station instead. To assist those affected, ProRail is offering a complimentary taxi service to and from Haarlem station, which can be arranged through the national railway customer service department.

The renovation timeline continues with the elevators for tracks 3 through 6 being replaced between mid-December and late March, followed by the track 7 elevator from early April to late June. ProRail cautions that this schedule remains subject to change depending on progress. Passengers are encouraged to monitor the official ProRail website for the most current updates regarding the construction work and potential disruptions to their travel plans.
