No trains run between Rotterdam Centraal and Delft Campus from 25 to 28 August; NS provides buses and suggests a Gouda detour towards The Hague.

What you need to know

The decision is clearer when the mechanism is visible:The detail most likely to cause an expensive mistake sits inside the alternatives: Metro line E appears to follow the same direction, but an NS ticket is not valid there. From 25 through 28 August the Rotterdam Centraal–Delft Campus rail section is fully closed. Express buses link the endpoints and stopping buses serve Schiedam, while fewer trains also run outside the closure on The Hague–Delft and Rotterdam–Dordrecht. Crowding can therefore begin before the blocked track. For context, No trains run between Rotterdam Centraal and Delft Campus from 25 to 28 August; NS provides buses and suggests a Gouda detour towards The Hague.



  • The complete closure runs from 25 through 28 August.
  • NS provides express buses plus stopping buses via Schiedam Centrum.
  • Rotterdam–The Hague travellers may detour by train through Gouda.
  • NS tickets are not valid on Metro E; check live advice before leaving.


Hokimi field note: For a fixed arrival in Delft, compare the total bus journey with the Gouda detour and treat Metro E as a separately paid option.
