Marne tram stop
Marne was a metro station in Amstelveen on metro line 51, a hybrid metro/sneltram (light rail) route that used high-floor trams. The station closed on 3 March 2019 and was subsequently demolished. After closure, the metro line south of Amsterdam Zuid station, also known as the Amstelveenlijn, was converted for low-floor trams. Today, there is no tram stop at the site. Since its opening in 9 December 2020, the trams of line 25 have been bypassing the site without stopping.[1][2][3]

In order to increase reliability and reduce travel time on the rebuilt line, five line 51 stations, including Marne, were demolished instead of being rebuilt as stops for low-floor trams. The former metro station site is 400 metres (1,300 ft) from the Sportlaan tram stop, which was rebuilt for trams below street level.[4]
