Due to a major technical failure at the NS, there are no more trains this evening and tonight. The malfunction has now been resolved, but due to the aftermath, it is not possible that the trains will run again.

"Although the cause of the malfunction has now been resolved, the impact is significant. To be able to start up reliably, systems must be updated and trains must be brought to the right place," the NS writes in a press release. The carrier apologizes for any inconvenience. The trains are expected to run again tomorrow.

Incorrect travel advice
Due to the outage, the travel planner also showed a lot of incorrect travel advice today. It was also not possible for hours to show current travel information at stations. The information has now been restored at the stations, the NS said.
