Dutch rail strike to halt train services nationwide on Tuesday
NS strikes: According to the railway unions, NS is still not making enough commitments for better working conditions, which is why the strikes are being expanded.
The largest railway union VVMC announced early this afternoon that there will also be a strike throughout the Randstad.
Next Tuesday, the VVMC union has called on its members to stop trains in the entire western Netherlands. This means that no trains will run in the Randstad, Zeeland and West Brabant. The strike will start at 04:00 on Tuesday morning and will last 24 hours.
Temporary changes will also affect international connections, including night trains.
