From the beginning of 2026 you will be able to travel more easily and comfortably between The Hague and other cities in the Randstad. Since August we have been working on the middle tracks tracks 5 to 8 towards Gouda and Utrecht. The work in this phase is now half way done. Second of three phases The redevelopment will take place in three phases. This way trains can continue to run as much as possible and the inconvenience for travelers is relatively limited. In the first phase we worked on tracks 9 to 12. From August we have been working on tracks 5 to 8 the second phase. Construction manager Dennis Cats says: We first emptied everything this summer. Tracks switches sleepers overhead lines overhead line beams and security: everything has been removed. We are now completely rebuilding them. The new tracks and switches are largely already in place. On schedule We are now busy with the construction of the overhead lines and work on train security. We are also tackling the platforms at the same time. We ensure that the new platform retaining walls are placed correctly and at the right height. This makes boarding easier and allows independent travel for everyone says Dennis. There are still 14 weeks until February 16 to complete this work. Dennis: We will certainly achieve that the work is well on schedule. But the biggest and most difficult step is yet to come. In the last three weeks we will also renovate tracks 1 to 4 the third phase of the project. We will therefore be working 24 hours a day from January 29 to February 15. That will be a difficult period for travelers but after that traveling to and from The Hague Central will be a lot more comfortable.
