Planning to travel to Harlingen Haven by public transport during Oerol 2025? Please be aware of construction work at the stations in Groningen and Leeuwarden. This may affect your journey and the ability to bring a bicycle on the train.
We’re in close contact with NS and Arriva and will update this page as soon as new information becomes available.
Possible shorter trains to and from Leeuwarden
Since 1 March, renovation work has been taking place on the platform canopies at Leeuwarden station. As a result, some trains are shorter than usual, which means less space for bicycles. This might mean you can’t board your planned train from Zwolle and need to wait for the next one.
Our advice: allow extra time, check your route carefully, and plan ahead—so you don’t miss the ferry.
Buses replace trains between Groningen and Zuidhorn
From Saturday 14 June to Saturday 12 July, no trains will run between Groningen and Zuidhorn. Replacement buses will be running instead, departing from the Stationsweg in front of Groningen station. Trains to and from Leeuwarden will start and end at Zuidhorn.
Please note: standard bicycles are not allowed on the replacement buses.
