On Friday, August 26, there will be a strike by NS staff in the western part of the Netherlands. As a result, there will be no NS trains in the province of Zuid-Holland for almost the entire day. In addition, there will also be major disruption in the rest of the Netherlands due to many trains passing through West Netherlands.
Trains are expected to run to and from the stations of Gouda, Haarlem, Hoofddorp, Lage Zwaluwe and Alphen a/d Rijn.
International train traffic is also affected by this strike. The international train between Amsterdam and Brussels runs irregularly.
NS advises travelers to choose alternative transportation or to postpone your trip. There is no alternative bus transport available.
Plan your trip shortly before departure in the travel planner. The planner will be updated this evening.
Railway unions have also announced industrial actions for next week in other regions of the Netherlands. NS is currently assessing the impact this will have on train traffic and our passengers. There is no more information about these actions at this time.
