The disruptions due to the winter weather have a major impact on the services provided by public transport companies. There are mainly Sprinters and Intercity trains on a number of routes. Unfortunately, it is not always certain which trains can or cannot run, it may also be that this is only known shortly before departure. Only travel when necessary. Your travel advice for tomorrow can be requested during the evening. Check the travel planner again shortly before departure.
NS and ProRail are still running a modified timetable today with Sprinters and also Intercity trains on a number of routes. Due to power failures in recent days, the trains could not leave the stabling areas, which meant that trains could not be brought to the right place for maintenance work. Continuous work is being done to repair the track and trains with extra shifts. Today and tomorrow, the mechanics and auxiliary locomotives are also available again to resolve faults as quickly as possible and to offer a reliable timetable. Check shortly before departure travel advice and take into account a longer journey time and extra transfers.

It's about time the track climate resistant is going to be. Critics sometimes say that the large investments for 'one day of snow' are not worth it. But extreme weather is becoming increasingly common. Not only snow provides surprises, heat records also fall and extreme rainfall causes nuisance. Anyone who adds up every day with extreme weather can only come to the conclusion that action is needed here. In short, where is the budget for 'climate-proof' public transport?
