Netherlands: All Train Services Suspended Due to Snow

The Netherlands is facing severe transport problems due to snow and ice. All train services have been suspended until at least 11:00 AM Greece time, while more than 300 flights have been cancelled at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The Dutch Railways NS announced the suspension due to adverse weather conditions and low temperatures. The cancellation of so many flights at Schiphol, one of Europe's major transport hubs, continues for the fifth day, causing significant delays and inconvenience to travellers. The authorities have warned of further travel difficulties and are urging citizens to avoid unnecessary journeys. The situation is expected to improve gradually as temperatures rise and snow removal and de-icing services operate effectively.
