Regional train strikes in the Netherlands on Friday, June 13, will impact train travellers across the country. There will be no domestic trains running in the provinces of Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe, Overijssel, Flevoland, Zeeland, Noord-Brabant, Limburg and part of Gelderland. For the rest of the Netherlands, the Dutch national railway carrier NS is attempting to run a regular train service, but that may prove difficult on short notice.
Due to possible delays and cancellations on the day of the strike, we recommend checking the NS timetable for operating train services and up-to-date train times before you depart for your planned rail journey.
International trains will also be impacted, especially EuroCity and Eurocity Direct. Operating international train services will not be open for domestic travel. To check the impact per international train and for more information about the strike, please read the NS strike announcement.
Delay compensation: Interrail & Eurail travellers with an activated travel day on any of the affected strike dates might request compensation on Interrail or Eurail delay compensation page.
