The unions had not planned any further actions after the regional strikes. However, uncertainty had arisen earlier this week because union spokesmen indicated that they were unable to say much about what would happen next weekend.
Train traffic is of great importance for the smooth running of the Grand Prix. Most roads to Zandvoort are closed during the race weekend and visitors are urged to come by train or bicycle.
A spokesperson for FNV Spoor also says that the unions hope that the management of NS will step in after the strike round last week and this week. However, the unions do not have a deadline for which the railway company must respond. “If nothing comes of it, we will discuss further steps.”
