The Netherlands will face a nationwide 24-hour public transport strike on Sept. 9 as trade unions protest the Cabinet’s planned cuts to social security, national rail operator NS confirmed.

All domestic NS trains will be canceled, along with international services including EuroCity, Eurostar, NightJet, ICE, and regional trains such as Roosendaal–Antwerp and the Liège–Aachen Drielandentrein. The only exception is the Airport Sprinter between Amsterdam Central, Schiphol, and Hoofddorp, which will run four times an hour after a court order in 2024 ensured its operation to prevent gridlock around Schiphol Airport .

Local transport in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague will also halt, with no trams, buses, metros, or ferries operating. The IJ Tunnel will remain closed to cyclists and pedestrians. Regional transport companies have joined the strike, and ProRail warned of potential delays on Sept. 10 as services resume.

NS CEO Wouter Koolmees called the strike “a real bummer,” while the operator advised travelers to check updates before the Journey Planner is refreshed early next week .
