After the major power outage at Utrecht Central last night, train traffic is running as normal again this morning.
Some trains may be a little shorter today and, according to the NS, travelers should therefore take into account more crowds. The advice to check the travel planner shortly before departure remains.
A defective track between Amersfoort and Deventer means that fewer trains now run on that route.
And due to a signal failure at Den Bosch, fewer trains are running to and from the station. No trains run at all between Geldermalsen and Den Bosch, according to the NS this will last until approximately 3:30 PM.
Train traffic around Utrecht was seriously disrupted at the end of the afternoon yesterday. The cause was a power failure that led to a signal failure at Abcoude. Train traffic to and from Utrecht Central Station was no longer possible and the station hall in Utrecht was full of stranded people.
Despite the long wait, travelers responded resignedly to the delay:
