Utrecht Centraal-'s-Hertogenbosch
Saturday the 9th and Sunday the 10th of April

(The map is an edited version of: Actuele spoorkaart 10 - Reizigers)

Cause:
Work in progress at the tracks of the railways.

Travel advice:
Make use of the redirected trains or the buses.

Redirected Intercity's:
Between Utrecht Centraal-'s-Hertogenbosch: use the intercity's that will be redirected over Nijmegen.

NS-buses:
(people that are not planning to visit or stay at Utrecht Lunetten, Houten, Houten Castellum, Culemborg, Geldermalsen could better omit this item and use the redirected intercity service over Nijmegen instead. However, if one would insist of having this bus trip, strictly speaking a valid train ticket is also valid in the bus service. But be prepared for the confused face of the bus driver when using this for traveling between Utrecht Centraal-'s Hertogenbosch. :grinning: )
  • Among Utrecht Centraal-Houten-Houten Castellum-Culemborg-Geldermalsen: use the NS-stopbuses (extra buses/tourincars will just be inserted as a service under the flag "NS-buses");
  • Between Utrecht Centraal-Utrecht Lunetten: use the GVU-buses, line numbers 1 or 8: your train ticket will be valid in this bus service.

Redirect advices:
  • Between Schiphol airport/Amsterdam Centraal and Eindhoven: travel over Rotterdam Centraal;
  • Between Zwolle/Deventer and Eindhoven travel over Nijmegen (instead of over Utrecht).

Extra travel time:
Half an hour, up to an hour.
 
It's official: everything is in order for Saturday. The owner of the building agrees to the party, but I can't emphasize enough how much of a privilege this is. This isn't a church, you are of course allowed to party, but PLEASE obey the rules:

No drugs
No fighting
Don't annoy other people in the building
Don't break anything

Normally, smoking isn't allowed, but the owner was kind enough to make an exception.

Remember: If ANYTHING goes wrong, the employees and me will not hesitate to shut down early. Don't ruin it for the other guests!!

Good work! I can only support your guidelines above. Lets all have a fun pre-meet :friends: :beer2:
 
Anyone now what the crack is with the trains from Schipol to Den Bosch? I've heard they are not running over the weeend. We are flying over on Friday afternoon.

Any help please

Look a couple of posts back.
 
Hi all, thanks a lot for all the info on the changes in public transportation. One question though, getting there won't be much trouble, but getting back to the airport in time so I catch my flight might prove... well.. impossible :(

ns.nl says that the first train leaves Den Bosch at around 8, and it takes it a little over 2 hours to arrive at Schiphol. Unfortunately my flight takes off at 10, so I won't make it in time.

Is there any way how I might be able to make it in time? Maybe with the buses? Does anyone know when they go?
Any help here is highly appreciated!!!

Coach transport with EventTravel isn't exactly an option I guess. If I'm correct those buses will only return at like 8, so that might proove a bit difficult. So the only options left really are finding someone that drives back to Amsterdam by car and has some free seats or catching a taxi (rebooking the flight in that case might even be cheaper, depending on the number of people you're travelling with).

My guess is cab or rebooking as well. Even when all the trains run according to schedule, you'll arrive at Schiphol at 9:30. Checking in and all that...You would probably still be too late.
