No trains to and from Amsterdam Central

ProRail is performing essential maintenance on platforms and station facilities at Amsterdam Centraal, resulting in a temporary halt to all train traffic. Travelers are advised to use the metro or replacement bus services while officials monitor the progress of the repairs.

ProRail is currently conducting infrastructure maintenance at Amsterdam Centraal, focusing on platforms, stairs, and elevators. Due to these ongoing works, all train traffic to and from the station has been suspended. The project is currently proceeding according to the planned schedule, and officials do not anticipate any significant delays in the completion of the upgrades.

To assist commuters during this disruption, the NS suggests using the metro for local travel, while replacement buses are operating throughout the night. Passengers traveling between Amsterdam Centraal, Amsterdam Muiderpoort, and Utrecht Centraal should prepare for increased crowding, particularly during peak hours on Monday. The operator continues to manage the situation to minimize the impact on public transportation services while the necessary technical improvements are finalized.
