Signal Failure Halts Most Schiphol Trains With Only Limited Hoofddorp Link
Planned engineering work had already reduced services to the airport.
Overview
- ProRail reported that almost no trains are running to and from Schiphol, with limited service only on the Schiphol–Hoofddorp segment.
- NS said the disruption would last at least until 12:15, and ProRail is investigating a signal and switch fault between Amsterdam Zuid and the airport.
- Replacement buses are operating between Schiphol, Amsterdam Lelylaan and Amsterdam Sloterdijk to maintain connections.
- Amsterdam remains reachable by rail, but no trains are running on the Schiphol–Amsterdam Zuid section, halting intercity through-running from Lelystad toward the airport and The Hague.
- A regional update indicated broader Randstad routes from Flevoland face disruption into mid‑afternoon, with advised alternatives via Amsterdam Centraal, Duivendrecht with metro, or via Utrecht for The Hague.
