Michiel, why not paint the SG4 in RandstadRail livery and use it for the new Simvliet Lightrail line (Line D).
Sjored, if Michiel does not wish to accept SG4 for the Simvliet route, you could use them for the Rijndam Metro network.

Because Simvliet has more then enough rolling stock for all 4 lines already with the 5300, 5400, 5500 and 5600 stock. The 5700 stock isn't even used at the moment (it's kept in reserve until line D needs to be extended to 3-car trains).

9000s would suit the Railway sprinter services (Centraal - Haven and Centraal - Delfsblaak) hence their transfer.

I've just heard that Bursa SG2 units will be continuing to operate on Simvliet to Delfblaak for the foreseeable future, but they are looking for a replacement. Whoever did the SG4 units get the paintbrushes out and repaint them in appropriate colours for Simvliet railway services
SG4 units are not step free and therefore Simvliet is not interested in them for the mainline services.
Didn't Michiel said no?

They'll have to be stored at Simvliet Haven until further notice.

They still have a possible life ahead of them.
I mean, if nobody suggests something decent, Michiel can throw them into the river!

Yeah but the metal can be recycled. Metal doesn't grow on trees, my guy.
