Cathedral of transport (Tussenwater metro station)
Europe, Netherlands, Rotterdam, Tussenwater station, RET, Mass transit, Maarten Struijs, Escalator, People
The station is a part of the above ground stretch of the Benelux (Caland) line, of the RET, the municipal mass transit organization. Here the former Benelux line ( A line now) and the former Erasmus line (D line now) eet.
Tussenwater has platforms for both lines. In the direction of Schiedam, the Erasmus line is crossed, explaining why the southern platform is higher than the other three.
Tussenwater is a towering station. Architect Maarten Struijs has designed two imposing 'gateways', over 17 metres high. The primary colours are blue and red, echoing the colours of both lines. Inside the gateways have a cathedral-like feel.
This is number 9 of the new album dedicated to Maarten Struijs, infrastructural architect here
