The power cut meant no trains to or from Amsterdam’s busy main rail station, resulting in a rush of drivers onto the road and heavy traffic.
“Other parts of the country are hit by the knock-on effect,” Dutch National Rail said. “The power cut has since been fixed but rail traffic is still seriously affected,” it said shortly before 0900 GMT.
The power cut was repaired by 0800 GMT, electricity provider Liander said, but it warned “problems may still occur due to the start-up process.”
