Metro Line 54 (Dutch: Metrolijn 54), also known as Gein Line (Geinlijn, formerly Holendrechtlijn) is a line of the Amsterdam Metro between Amsterdam Centraal station and Gein station in the Gein district in Amsterdam-Zuidoost.[1] This is the southern branch of the Oostlijn.

The Weesperplein–Holendrecht line was opened on 14 October 1977 and replaced the busy bus line 55. On 11 October 1980, the extension from Weesperplein to Centraal Station followed, and on 27 August 1982, the line was completed with the extension from Holendrecht to Gein.[2]

Until 2013, almost only M1, M2 and M3 trainsets were in service on this line, which were built for this line between 1973 and 1980. In the period 2013-2015, these were gradually replaced by the new M5 trainsets. Since then, CAF rolling stock has also been in service and from 2019 to 2024, S1/S2 light rail rolling stock. This latter rolling stock was replaced by the new M7 from 2023.
