One-and-a-half year after the first request at the Autoriteit Consument en Markt (the Dutch market authority) for permission, the open access night trains by Arriva Netherlands will start running in the 2023 timetable.
As of December 16th, every night from Friday to Saturday, a night service from Maastricht to Schiphol Airport will start running. The nightly service from Groningen to Schiphol will start a few weeks later in January. This is the very first time an open access rail service will start within the Netherlands.
A ticket for the night trains will cost 10 euros regardless of where the passenger boards/exits and is only available via the glimble by Arriva app. Reservations are required.
Due to the lengthy disruption at the Hanzelijn no test runs are possible on the Groningen - Schiphol route. Therefore the services on this route will start a few weeks later, but the exact starting date is not yet known.
