The NS also says it is “doing its utmost to run the trains tomorrow”. “You have to imagine that you are making adjustments when we are not driving: equipment and personnel. And we have to reverse those adjustments because ProRail decides to drive anyway. So we will do our utmost,” said the spokesperson.
