Dutch national railway NS announced on Tuesday that there will be no rail traffic to or from the Apeldoorn station starting on July 20. Infrastructure firm ProRail will modify the station platforms, carry out maintenance on the track, and will replace switches in the area. The railroad work means trains cannot operate between Apeldoorn and Amersfoort Centraal, Deventer or Zutphen. Train passengers will either have to adjust their travel and use detours around the area, or use the replacement buses which NS and Arriva will operate.
Dutch national railway NS said more trains could be cancelled on Wednesday afternoon as a result of Storm Poly. The train operator cancelled all morning trains in the Northern Netherlands soon after meteorological office KNMI issued a Code Red weather alert for the storm, which brought wind gusts of up to 146 kilometers per hour. There were also problems on the roads, and many local public transport providers also modified their schedule or shut down service temporarily.
