There were widespread problems for rail commuters on Friday morning as ProRail workers went on strike at key parts of the network in the centre of the Netherlands. The strike, from 6 am to 9 am, disrupted train services around Utrecht and Amersfoort and had knock on effects on services to Schiphol, Leiden, Deventer and Almere as well.
