A regional train strike is set to disrupt rail services in the northern and southern regions of the Netherlands on Friday, June 13th. The strike, the third in recent weeks, stems from an ongoing dispute concerning wages and working conditions.

The affected areas include Groningen, Drenthe, and Friesland, where train services will be halted. Arriva trains are expected to operate as scheduled.

The NS (Nederlandse Spoorwegen) anticipates significant disruptions nationwide. While aiming to maintain services in other parts of the country, a revised schedule is being implemented. Passengers should expect delays and cancellations.

Travelers are strongly advised to consult the NS app for the latest updates, which will be available by Thursday evening.

International train services are expected to run normally, with the exception of the Eurocity, which will only be accessible to passengers holding international tickets on June 13th. The NS also anticipates some cancellations on international lines.

A detailed map indicating train cancellations and available services is available online. This strike follows previous actions on Tuesday, June 10th, and Friday, June 6th, as the labor dispute continues.
