5 - 6 September: changed itinerary for the Eurocity Direct

Due to planned engineering works, the Eurocity Direct (Brussels-Amsterdam) will exceptionally terminate at Amsterdam Central station instead of Amsterdam Zuid, and will therefore not continue to Almere and Lelystad on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September 2026.

In the opposite direction, the Eurocity Direct to Brussels will depart from Amsterdam Central as well.

Moreover, it will be diverted from their usual itinerary between Rotterdam and Amsterdam and will therefore not serve Schiphol Airport. Between Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport, passengers can use domestic trains operated by NS.

The timetables shown by our journey planner take these changes into account.

In the opposite direction (to Brussels), the 4 earliest morning services of Eurocity Direct will depart from Amsterdam Zuid. The next trains will depart from Amsterdam Central.
