Zoetermeer stadslijn 1983
Zoetermeer Stadslijn is a light rail connection in the Netherlands between The Hague and Zoetermeer.

History
Originally, the line was managed by the Dutch Railways (NS). After June 2006 it served as a light rail line using trams. The light-rail connection combined with the The Hague-Rotterdam line is called the RandstadRail.
After the Oosterheem neighbourhood was built in Zoetermeer, an extra track was added. It does not take the round line like the other routes, instead it splits between the Seghweart and Leidsewallen stations.
Lines
Since the extra Oosterheem line was added, two lines reach the Zoetermeer Stadslijn, called line 3 and line 4. Line 3 uses the older track and line 4, called the Oosterheem line, takes the newer fork.
Line 3
Line 3 takes the old track and makes a lap. At Centrum West, it turns and circles back over the whole track to Den Haag Centraal Station.
Route
The route starts at Den Haag Centraal Station and goes through Voorburg and Leidschendam. Then it enters Zoetermeer at station Voorweg Laag. Stops:
At the end the vehicle turns around and drives the route back to The Hague Centraal Station.
Line 4
Line 4 drives the same route as line 3, until after station Seghwaert where it splits and goes into the Oosterheem neighbourhood.
Route
The route starts at Den Haag Centraal Station and goes through Voorburg and Leidschendam. Then it enters Zoetermeer at station Voorweg Laag, just like line 3.
