Train services between Haarlem and Beverwijk will be suspended from November 2 until November 7 to allow for track maintenance and station upgrades. During this period, travelers can use replacement stopbuses and express bus services while rail maintenance is completed in the Velserspoortunnel.

Starting November 2, train services between Haarlem and Beverwijk will be suspended to facilitate essential maintenance on the railway track within the Velserspoortunnel.
