The railway station opened here on 1 October 1908. As the nearby station Berkel was closed in 1965, the name of the Rodenrijs station was changed into Berkel en Rodenrijs. This station was closed on 3 June 2006 for refurbishment work to a RandstadRail metro station.

The RandstadRail station opened on 10 September 2006 for the Metro service, and currently is served by  the Dark Blue E Line now under the name of Rodenrijs again, as at the same time the new station Berkel Westpolder was opened. The station features 2 platforms, that are the same height as the train doors.
