Landelijke storing informatieborden NS-stations weer voorbij - AD Nieuws
Shared: | Tags: rail transportI knew something was a little off yesterday morning while I traveled into Amsterdam but didn't realize it at the time . The train departure screens were set back by 15 minutes starting around 07:00, just in time for the morning peak. You'd think it an April Fool's joke but no, it was a failed system upgrade by NS. The issue was resolved around 11:30, later that morning.
This made matters a little worse around Amsterdam as rail works at Centraal Station, over the weekend, planned to be completed by 06:00 Monday morning took longer than expected. This resulted in a number of delayed trains and confused passengers. What's slightly funny to me is that ProRail decided to start work a day early, on Friday, to ensure there won't be a delay. To add to this, NS is currently running rail-replacement buses between Weesp and Amsterdam Muiderpoort this week, with an adjusted timetable until 23 April, to accommodate rail works in the area. It's going to be a fun month.
