Winter weather is expected again tomorrow throughout the Netherlands. This means there is a high chance of disruptions to train services. To ensure you have a reliable and safe journey, the winter timetable will be in effect tomorrow. This means that fewer NS trains will be running on a number of routes. Please allow for extra travel time, more frequent transfers, and crowded trains. Plan your journey shortly before departure in the travel planner for the most up-to-date travel advice.
What does this mean for your journey?
On almost all routes, there will be at least two trains per hour, sometimes four times per hour. It will not be possible to increase the frequency of trains if the weather conditions are better than expected.
ProRail has extra snow and breakdown crews on standby to resolve switch failures. Despite the precautions taken, trains may be canceled or delayed. NS and ProRail are working hard to resolve any problems as quickly as possible.
Winter weather can cause more disruption for train passengers. Therefore, always check the travel planner shortly before departure, or download the Rijden de Treinen app. Expect longer travel times and crowds, especially during rush hour. Trains may also depart at different times than you are used to.
