. The stop lies along tram line 25, which was dubbed the Amsteltram before it received its line number. It opened officially on 13 December 2020, unofficially 4 days earlier on 9 December. Poortwachter was earlier a stop for metro line 51, a hybrid metro/''sneltram'' (light rail) service, and was the southern terminal of that line before it was extended to Westwijk in 2004. Like a metro, the ''sneltram'' used high-level platforms. Metro line 51 service south of Amsterdam Zuid station was closed in 2019 to rebuild stations for lower platforms in order to accommodate the new low-floor trams for line 25.
