On 1 August 1915

Opening of the railway connection between Uithoorn and Alphen aan den Rijn, with among others a station "Nieuwveen", at the end of what is now the W.P. Speelmanweg.
The original document gives 1916 as the year of opening and Amsterdam as the terminus; the line ran from Uithoorn to Alphen aan den Rijn and opened on 1 August 1915.
The line was 23 kilometres long and was built by the Hollandsche Electrische-Spoorweg-Maatschappij as part of the Haarlemmermeer railways. Because it mostly carried horticultural produce, it was popularly nicknamed "het bonenlijntje", the bean line.
