The impact on the railway infrastructure has also been severe and railway maintenance company ProRail has said that it is taking longer to repair the damage than anyone expected.
Travelers Urged to Find Other Routes
Schiphol Airport has advised passengers to prepare for delays and use other forms of transport such as buses, taxis, or private vehicles. From Amsterdam Sloterdijk, Lelylaan, and Zuid stations, travelers have also been advised to take the metro. You can still get to the airport directly from The Hague and Rotterdam.
The disruption is particularly notable on Tuesdays, generally the busiest weekday for train travel. But also, with traffic restrictions because of the Nato summit in place, a huge number of commuters are expected to stay home.
Probe on Sabotage onwards
The fire's cause is still not clear, but caretaker justice minister David van Weel has ordered an inquiry. Possible sabotage is one of the scenarios being investigated, particularly in light of the NATO summit starting on the same day, he said.
The minister also said activist groups, foreign activity, or even the theft of copper could have played a role in the event.
The full impact of the interruptions is still being felt as authorities work to repair the damage and determine the cause. Travelers are urged to monitor for updates and factor in extra time.
