Engineering work around Rotterdam and The Hague in 2026
In 2026, ProRail will be renewing many tracks between Rotterdam and The Hague. This will allow trains to run faster and make the timetable more reliable. This page explains what the work means for your journey. Please remember to plan your travel from ten days in advance.
Engineering work around The Hague Central
At The Hague Central, ProRail is completely rebuilding the tracks. This enables trains to run faster and improves connections in the timetable, whether you are travelling to Leiden, Gouda, Utrecht or Rotterdam. This work will be finished at the start of 2026.
Changed arrival station for Sprinter Dordrecht – The Hague
During the works, four of the six Sprinters between Dordrecht and The Hague Central will terminate at The Hague HS. The remaining two Sprinters will continue from The Hague HS to The Hague Central.
Extra OV-fietsen at The Hague HS
During the works, we are adding 100 extra OV-fietsen at The Hague HS station. This makes it easy to cycle into the city with an OV-fiets.
