NS Restores Most Services as Thaw Eases, Breda Rail Hit by Signal Fault

A maintenance backlog from last week's freeze delays a full return to normal operations.

Overview

  • NS returns largely to its regular timetable from Tuesday, yet fewer or shorter trains run on select routes due to limited rolling stock after missed maintenance.
  • NS warns of reduced service on routes including Schiphol–Nijmegen (via Utrecht), Schiphol–The Hague, AssenGroningen and Amsterdam CentraalZaandam, with local delays of about 15 minutes expected until at least 18:45.
  • Train traffic to and from Breda was halted Tuesday morning by a signal and switch failure; limited service resumed from 08:30 with one train per hour Roosendaal–Breda and two per hour Breda–Gilze-Rijen, with no end time confirmed.
  • Rijkswaterstaat carries out urgent hotbox repairs on frost-damaged highway surfaces in Brabant, citing multiple potholes on stretches including the A59 near Vlijmen, Vught and Boxtel, and warning of temporary lane closures.
  • The A58 closed for hours between knooppunt Sint Annabosch and Bavel after a crash involving two trucks and a car that became trapped between them; the driver escaped and traffic was diverted.
  • Police say a Saturday raid at a Ter Apelkanaal property uncovered 20,000 liters of drugs waste, confirming a dismantled drug lab and triggering an ongoing investigation.
