New Timetable Arriva in Groningen

The last few months, a lot of construction work was done in Groningen station. The station will open again on Sunday 13 July. From then on, Arriva will operate a new timetable in the province of Groningen.

Latest update: 11 July 2025, 5:00 PM

Previously, Arriva trains coming from the south and terminating in Groningen could not continue beyond the station. But now, thanks to extended tracks, these trains can operate further past Groningen.
