Far fewer trains between Amsterdam and Utrecht Friday

Check your travel plans

Thanks to two broken switches near Duivendrecht, fewer trains will run the Amsterdam-Utrecht route on Friday.

According to ProRail, the malfunctions were discovered on Thursday, and a contractor was dispatched to fix them.

However, due to the extent of the damage and the limited time available to fix them, the broken switches have not yet been fully repaired.

What does this mean for my journey?

As only one switch is operational (albeit at a lowered speed of 80 km/h), ProRail is limiting the number of trains running the Amsterdam-Utrecht route.

As there’s a likelihood your train could be cancelled or delayed, please consult the NS app or ProRail’s own travel planner before heading to the station.
