Make no mistake on the platform, because your regular train times may have changed. This is due to the new NS timetable, which will come into effect from tomorrow.
The train operator speaks of the “biggest change to the timetable in years”. Due to the changes, more trains will soon be running again than in the “peak year” 2019, before the corona pandemic started. What are the changes in Drenthe?
The NS will therefore run more often not only in the Randstad, but also in the North. This involves six to seven extra trains per day between Zwolle and Groningen/Leeuwarden.
Bus passengers in Drenthe and Groningen must also pay attention. In addition to the changing train timetable, the arrival and departure times of bus transport change. Driving is also more frequent in other places.
The latter applies, for example, to line 32 between Hoogeveen, Ruinen and Meppel. The first bus leaves on Sunday two hours earlier than normal. Another noticeable difference is line 9, where the renovated Hoofdweg is put back into use at Eelde/Paterswolde. New stops have been placed along the road. The Spierveen district is avoided.
