Due to a power outage in the Rotterdam area, no trains are running between Rotterdam and Breda until Thursday 2 July at 6 pm.
Eurostar trains are diverted between Antwerp and Amsterdam Centraal, and will therefore not serve Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport. Passengers can use local NS trains between Amsterdam and Schiphol or Rotterdam.
EuroCity and Eurocity Direct trains are only operating between Brussels and Breda. Passengers can use local NS trains between Breda and their destination in the Netherlands.
