Although the power failure that large parts of North Holland and Flevoland yesterday paralyzed is resolved, there are still problems. So why trains in North Holland still all night not in the timetable.

Planned work between Utrecht and Den Bosch ensure that all weekend between the two cities no trains. The track is renewed, there will be new signal lights and the station platform roofs at Geldermalsen be replaced. The NS two days buses.

Yesterday, travelers around Amsterdam called the day not to travel to and from stations nearby. Thousands of travelers across the country were affected by the outage. Despite the disrupted traffic NS have promised that everyone on the same day would arrive by train or replacement vehicle.

Biggest failure
The power failure is one of the largest that has seen our country. Approximately 1 million households were without electricity by a power outage station in Diemen. Probably originated as a short circuit. The outage began at 9:45 pm. Around 15:30 everyone was reconnected

Among others, the Ministries of Security and Justice and Economic Affairs and operator TenneT investigate the causes and consequences of failure
