On Wednesday, there will be no train services between Belgium and the Netherlands due to a 24-hour strike in the Netherlands. This has been confirmed by the international website of the railway company NMBS.

Due to the strike, not only regular train connections will be suspended, but also high-speed trains such as the Eurostar and Eurocity Direct between Brussels and Amsterdam.

The strike has been called by Dutch trade unions protesting against cuts in public transport. The unions point out that these measures have negative consequences for service and jobs.

Travelers are advised to consider alternative transportation and adjust their travel plans for Wednesday. Further details and updates on train services can be found on the NMBS website.
