Timetable

From 11 December, the new timetable for 2023 will take effect. The main changes are: 

• We extend more than 30% of trains
• On Monday until Thurday between Eindhoven, Utrecht and Amsterdam there will be a train every 10 minutes again
• Fewer and shorter trains on some quiet routes

With these adjustments, we offer more seats, but may still be crowded on some routes.

Adapted to new travel behaviour

Fewer passengers travel by train than before corona. People also travel on other days and times. With the new timetable, we take this into account. And we make a more reliable timetable, so you know where you stand. 

Longer trains at weekends

Especially on busy weekends, we run longer trains. This ensures 10% more seats on weekends. On Fridays, fewer trains run than on other weekdays, because there are also fewer passengers. 

Keep improving

Meanwhile, we keep looking for new colleagues and other solutions to the staff shortage. This way, we reduce the risk of crowding and train cancellations. And we improve the timetable wherever possible.

Holiday timetable

From 27 December to 6 January, we operate a holiday timetable. During the Christmas holidays, fewer people travel by train. This means that we will run more or less the same timetable during the week as during the weekend. On each route, we will continue to run at least two trains per hour on weekdays during the day.

On New Year's Eve, as every year, there will be no trains after 20:00. Train service will resume on New Year's Day around 10:00 am. On the Rotterdam-Schiphol-Amsterdam-Utrecht night network, a train will run every hour from 01:00 on New Year's Day. And from 5:00 am every half hour.
