Line A is a metro line in Simvliet, which runs from Simvliet Centrum to Araplein. While it has the first letter as name, it is in fact the newest line, line letters were assigned later so these do not represent the order in which lines were constructed. The line was opened in 2006 between Stadionweg and Springstraat as a shuttle service with only 4 stations running on single track. Due to the success of the line, it was extended towards Simvliet Centrum in 2013 over the already existing line. In 2017, it was extended to Araplein.

Rolling stock

The line is operated by the SG3 stock. During weekdays three units are coupled together, while in the weekend the line runs with two units. During the evening single units are used on the Stadionweg shuttle. The trains are stabled at Bergpark depot and Springstraat sidings.

Services

Line A has 6 trains per hour all day running between between Simvliet Centrum and Araplein. In the evening and in early mornings in the weekends the service is reduced to a shuttle between Stadionweg and Araplein operating 6 trains per hour.
