Due to a technical failure, the Dutch Railways company NS is currently experiencing major problems and NS trains will not run at least until 20:00.
The company strongly advises customers not to travel, or if they are on the road, to look for other travel options. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to say how long this situation will last.
The problem lies in the system that NS uses to plan both personnel and trains. As a result, railway safety cannot be guaranteed at the moment. It is not possible for travellers to use the NS travel planner, which is still disrupted; trips should be planned via 9292. At the stations, the travel information has been restored.
Due to the magnitude of the problems, no replacement buses will be used for the time being. “Fifty people fit in a bus, a thousand in an average intercity,” says the spokesman for the NS.
On the routes of the regional transporters, the trains are running according to the normal timetable.
