Maaslijn Closure Starts Saturday as Meteren Repairs Delay GeldermalsenDen Bosch Trains Until Friday

ProRail directs round-the-clock electrification works on the Maaslijn alongside a full rebuild at Meteren.

Overview

  • Trains stop between Cuijk and Nijmegen from 1 to 10 November for a nine-day shutdown tied to the Maaslijn upgrade.
  • The works enable future electric service with new overhead-line portals, with intensive activity around Nijmegen and Mook-Middelaar by contractor Swietelsky.
  • Arriva runs replacement stopbuses for the closed section, with departures in Cuijk from the station stop on Bontsestraat.
  • After a train hit a truck near Meteren, services between Geldermalsen and Den Bosch are now expected to resume next Friday morning subject to completion of repairs.
  • Repairs require about 2,000 meters of rail, 600 sleepers and a switch, plus full level-crossing replacement, while NS operates stopbuses between Geldermalsen, Zaltbommel and Den Bosch.
