16 November to 1 December: IC Netherlands not serving Schiphol-Airport

Due to planned engineering works on the Dutch rail network, InterCity Netherlands trains will be diverted to an alternative route between Rotterdam and Amsterdam from Saturday 16 to Sunday 1 December 2024 inclusive. As a consequence, they will not call at Schiphol-Airport and the travel time will be slightly adjusted.

Passengers to Schiphol-Airport can change trains in Rotterdam and make use of other NS (Dutch railway) operated trains to Schiphol-Airport.

Please check the adapted schedules for your journey a few days before travel.
