Overview
- NS resolved an overnight IT failure and began running a reduced service after 10:00, following a morning with no NS trains and ongoing switch problems in several regions.
- Road congestion eased markedly compared with Monday, dropping to about 50 kilometers of traffic by late morning, but icy stretches persist under a nationwide KNMI code yellow.
- Rijkswaterstaat kept large-scale winter operations in place, deploying 577 gritters, 630 snowploughs and about 1,500 staff, and even used a Firestorm de-icing machine where needed.
- With heavier snow expected on Wednesday, bus operators including HTM, EBS and RET will keep vehicles in depots until after the morning rush, while NS plans a winter timetable and urges passengers to check planners.
- Secondary impacts continue, with the CBR canceling motorcycle and moped driving exams for safety and retailers warning of delivery delays, as authorities advise cautious travel or working from home on Wednesday.
