No trains between Den Haag and Schiphol this morning

Due to a collision, there are currently no trains running between Leiden Centraal and Schiphol airport.

This means that commuters and travellers are facing extended delays and waiting times this morning, reports NU.nl.

The exact nature of the problem is not known, but the NS says that it won’t be fixed before 9:30 AM at the earliest.

Who is affected?

The line blockage especially concerns those travelling from and to Leiden, Den Haag, Amsterdam, Schiphol, Haarlem, Hoofdorp, and Lelystadt.

Alternative routes

Those affected by the delays are asked to look for alternative routes. There are busses available from Haarlem to Leiden Centraal.

From Schiphol airport, you can travel to Rotterdam Centraal and proceed your travels from there. However, the NS does predict high demand for this train connection so expect full trains.
