Upon calls from various unions, including the Netherlands Trade Union Confederation (FNV), the largest Dutch trade union, railway workers went on a 24-hour strike.
Due to the walkout, all train services, except for some services on the Amsterdam-Schiphol line, were cancelled.
The strike action came after the unions received negative response to their demands for a pay rise.
Railways workers are expected to stage another strike action on June 10 in southern and western parts of the country.
Trade unions say the annual 2.55% pay increase offered to Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) workers is not enough due to rising inflation and falling purchasing power in the country.
