The normal service will resume in the morning, says NMBS spokesperson Dimitri Timmerman. “We are working on this night anyway to get all trains that may not be in the right place to the right place.” Normal train service can resume on Friday morning, it says.
Overall, the services provided during the strike went well. The announced trains have run. “That predictability for the traveler is the most important thing about the alternative train service. This way the traveler knows where he stands. That worked.”
The strike by the socialist trade union ACOD Spoor and the liberal VSOA Spoor started on Tuesday evening. This is the second 48-hour strike in a short time. A month ago, the Christian union ACV Transcom also went on strike from Tuesday evening, November 7, to Thursday evening, November 9.
The unions stopped work out of dissatisfaction with the progress of negotiations on plans to increase efficiency. They oppose, among other things, plans by the management to halve the start-up time of the train conductors to 10 minutes.
