The station closed permanently in 2010, when the railway was diverted into a new tunnel connecting it to the Rotterdam metro network, starting 2,2 km earlier (RET metro's where already running on the line for 4 years; first the SG2 RR, later the SG3 5500's).
The station building MG2 is building was demolished in the early 1990s.

Yes indeed like Sjoerd stated, this represents the Hofplein station until June 1990. As a new tunnel was being build for the railway the Hofplein station intersected with (the Rotterdam - Dordrecht railway) a significant part of it had to move out of the way. Construction of the tunnel took its toll and left the Hofplein station ruined. This is one of the reasons why I chose to recreate the Hofplein station and the Rotterdam - Dordrecht railway in its pre-1990 state but in a present day setting. The tunnel replaced the elevated part of the Rotterdam - Dordrecht railway:

That flat out reminds my of New York's subway infrastructure. That's really cool.

81-717: *listening to katyusha song and singing along in russian*
MVG Type A: *hears the music and comes closer* Entschuldigung! (Excuse me!)
81-717: *notices, that MVG Type A talked to it and shuts off music* Oh, hi there blender[1]!
MVG Type A: Hey! I am not a blender! I am MVG Type A! Anyway, what was that song you listened to and sang along?
81-717: The name of that song is "Katyusha." It's a war song which was composed in 1938. In my homeland it's still popular.
MVG Type A: I see. Thanks for the explanation. *suddenly a MVG's compressor kicks in making loud rumbling noise*
81-717: *gets shocked* Что это за фигня?! (What the hell is that?!)
MVG Type A: *shuts compressor down* Sorry. That was my compressor. What a noisy boy it is, isn't it?
81-717: Боже мой! (Oh my god!) That was really loud! It reminds me of one my colleagues who had faulty compressor and was rumbling as loud as you. My compressor is more silent. Look. *starts up it's compressor making a noise simmiliar to diesel engine and a few seconds later shuts it down*
MVG Type A: That sounded like diesel locomotive staying on place with it's engine on.
81-717: Yeah, but much more silent. than your loud thumper.
MVG Type A: Whatever.

Notes.
[1] Blender is a made up nickname of mine for MVG Type A train. It's a metaphore, based on fact, that MVG Type A sounds like a spun up blender when it goes at maximum speed.
