No trains will run between Goes and Vlissingen, in the province of Zeeland, from Saturday 14 November to Sunday 22 November. Work is planned at stations on this stretch of line, and NS is putting on replacement buses for all nine days.

Why it matters

  • On weekdays, express buses (snelbussen) will run between Vlissingen and Kruiningen-Yerseke, and between Middelburg and Kruiningen-Yerseke.
  • In the weekday rush hour, express buses will also run between Middelburg and Goes.
  • At all other times, local buses will call at every station on the route.

At Middelburg station, the platform, the lifts and the pedestrian tunnel are being renewed during the closure. ProRail is replacing rails and sleepers, among other work, at the stations of Goes, Arnemuiden and Vlissingen.
