Overview
- NS says it needs about a week to work through delayed maintenance, running fewer or shorter trains on seven routes including Schiphol–Utrecht–Nijmegen, Amsterdam–Den Haag, Amsterdam–Alkmaar, Zwolle–Assen–Groningen, Den Haag–Gouda Goverwelle, Amersfoort–Barneveld and Almelo–Hardenberg.
- A signal-and-switch failure halted traffic to and from Breda Tuesday morning; limited service resumed with one train per hour Roosendaal–Breda and two per hour Breda–Gilze-Rijen, with no end time confirmed.
- Rijkswaterstaat reports extensive pothole damage in Brabant and is deploying hotbox asphalt patches; on the N261 (Tilburg–Waalwijk) repairs now extend to Friday with night closures by direction and full reopening each following morning.
- Road incidents added to delays, including a two-and-a-half-hour A58 closure near Bavel after a car was trapped between two lorries and burned; the driver escaped and morning congestion was heavy across multiple corridors.
- Recent hazards underscored conditions, with a gritting truck overturning on black ice at the A59 Empel junction and a fatal single-vehicle crash in Gaanderen reported Monday as KNMI ice warnings were lifted later that day.
