The Lelylaan station in Nieuw-West is undergoing a comprehensive renovation. The station will be more visible and safer, and it will also be adapted to the increasing number of passengers in the coming years. Work is expected to start in 2023.

During the renovation, the station hall will be expanded and the auditorium will have a full glass facade. On the south side of the station, there will be a guarded, covered bike shed for about 2,800 bikes. On the north side there will be a bicycle parking space for about a thousand bicycles, as a result of which the bicycle racks will disappear.
