Travelling to The Hague? Significantly fewer trains will run to and from the city over the next two weeks

Chaos is coming to Den Haag Centraal

Frequent commuter to and from Den Haag Centraal, you’re about to have a rough two weeks.

Starting today, ProRail will be carrying out works on the tracks and platforms around the station. The works will last until February 15.

The result? Plenty of cancelled routes.

Ok, what will this look like?

According to NU.nl, there will be several disruptions over the next two weeks. For example:

  • Travellers to and from Leiden and Rotterdam will have to detour via Gouda.
  • No trains will run at all between Den Haag Centraal and Delft on February 7.
  • During the weekend of January 31 and February 1, no trains will run between Den Haag Centraal and Hollands Spoor, Ypenburg, and Mariahoeve.

In short, each day may bring a new not-so-pleasant delay or disruption. The NS advises that you simply plan ahead. Our advice? Avoid The Hague like the plague.
