During the strike, two out of five L trains and suburban S trains will normally run. The P trains hardly run at all. “Based on the staff who have indicated that they will work, an alternative train service will be provided for each strike day,” the NMBS said.
“Wednesday’s alternative train service can be consulted from Tuesday morning via the NMBS online journey planner, via the app or website. For Thursday’s, this can be done from Wednesday morning.”
The three railway companies say they condemn the new strike action and “regret its impact on passengers”. The Christian union ACV Transcom withdrew its strike notice. The socialist and liberal unions decided to strike for 48 hours. Previously, the three unions stopped work from Tuesday evening 7 to Thursday evening 9 November due to dissatisfaction with the progress of negotiations on internal reforms.
