No trains between Leiden, The Hague and Rotterdam after rush hour Tuesday

This is the one and only time we will encourage you to shove yourself onto a rush hour train — at least if you plan on travelling between Leiden, The Hague, and Rotterdam tonight.

The tracks between the cities need to be repaired, and as a result, there will be no trains running between them after this Tuesday’s rush hour.

So pack your things and say doei to your coworkers, it’s time for you to enjoy some time as a sardine on a Dutch train.

Won’t start again until after 11 PM

The NOS reports that the track between Delft Campus and Schiedam Centrum has been damaged since this morning. 

In order to fix this, the tracks are closed between 7:30 PM and 11:15 PM.

Which routes specifically?

According to the NS and ProRail, this means that all trains between Leiden and Rotterdam and The Hague and Rotterdam will come to a standstill.

However, according to NU.nl, the NS is running buses between Delft and Rotterdam. The NS also suggests that passengers between The Hague and Rotterdam detour via Gouda.
