The new NS timetable has been implemented today, marking the most significant change in years. The goal is to increase the number of trains in the Randstad area, with earlier morning departures and extended evening services on many routes.
New services include the ‘Airport Sprinter’ to Schiphol and the international ‘Eurocity Direct’ to Brussels. A spokesperson for NS noted that most people will notice the changes tomorrow.
A new night train from Amsterdam to Alkmaar also started last night and reportedly ran smoothly. NS claims to have informed passengers through various means, including their app and station announcements over the past two weeks, as well as emails to regular customers.
Additional NS staff will be present in Rotterdam tomorrow to assist passengers.
