I mean mentioning that Hageningen Centraal is in the Simvliet metro for example. Not specifically in Simvliet 2020.

I think my suggestion above is good

Now get rid of the <map> part and you're good to go.

But why we shouldn't write that it's on the Simvliet metro? Maybe this to detach the station itself from the map?

<Station> is a station located in <city>. It serves lines <line1> and <line2> of the <metro system>.

With "metro system" being replaced with Simvliet metro/Rijndam metro/Glasgow Subway etc.

Some info on the station. Otherwise the pages get boring i believe.

Unless you don’t make up that info. On real life stations though, don’t add stuff unrelated with the sim; instead add a link to Wikipedia

That's something different, in that case you mention the line (Simvliet metroline D), not the map. It's different situation however when you mention Hageningen tramline 11 for example. This line has nothing to do with Simvliet as it isn't located in SImvliet and is neither operated by the Simvliet transport company.

Also not mentioning maps means not writing things like "It was opened in Simvliet 2020", but instead just writing "The station was opened in 2020". Keep in mind that history has not always been released chronologically and history has been rewritten a few times. In my opinion the wiki should reflect the history as imagined by the creators of the maps, according to the latest version. Meaning there is no '2017' edition of Varenweg for example. Of course the changelog per release can still mention these changes.
