Please note: NS strike on Friday 13 June

Update: less/no trains on Friday 13 June

This Friday no NS trains will run in (parts of) the entire country. Keep an eye on the coverage of, for example, NOS: Weer staking NS-personeel: vrijdag in noorden en zuiden

Update: no trains on Tuesday 10 June

Next Tuesday, there will be no NS trains running in the entire country, just like last Friday.

The original post announcing the strike on Friday 6 June follows below.

On Friday 6 June, the NS has announced that it will go on strike in the central region. This is likely to have major consequences for train traffic throughout the country.

Education will continue, including exams

Education will continue as normal during the NS strike. If you are absent from compulsory education as a result of the strike, you can invoke the strike and your attendance requirement will be waived. This does not apply if you have an exam or other form of assessment; the strike is not a valid reason for absence and you will not be given an extra opportunity to take the test.
