From Thursday it will be waived for a while for train travelers between Den Bosch and Utrecht. Due to large-scale work between Geldermalsen and Utrecht, no intercity trains will run there from 14 July to 5 August. In fact, no trains will run at all between Houten and Geldermals.
Due to a national shortage of bus drivers, NS is unable to provide sufficient replacement buses, especially during peak hours. Travelers are therefore advised to avoid this route as much as possible during these weeks, to travel outside rush hours or to choose a detour route.
Detour routes
You can detour via Breda or Nijmegen. Then you have to take into account an hour extra travel time. “It can also be busy on these routes, partly due to extra travelers during the Nijmegen Four Days Marches, which will take place from 19 to 22 July,” emphasizes a spokesperson.
