No trains between Utrecht and Almere due to staff shortage | Inland

The NS previously announced that fewer trains would run on Saturday because there is not enough manpower. Fewer Intercity trains are running on the Rotterdam-Utrecht, Alkmaar-Maastricht and Schiphol-Nijmegen routes. There are also fewer sprinters available between Driebergen-Zeist and Uitgeest. The extra travel time can be up to 15 minutes. NS calls on travelers to plan their train journey carefully to avoid delays.

According to the NS, from Monday there will be fewer trains between Rotterdam, Schiphol and Arnhem due to staff shortages. The NS is not only short of drivers and conductors, but also IT staff, mechanics, safety and service employees and shop staff at the stations. The railways have about 1100 vacancies.

State Secretary Vivianne Heijnen (Infrastructure) previously made it clear to the House of Representatives that the shortages may persist for a longer period of time, even after the summer.
