Overview
- With police support, NS stopped nearly all passing trains at Voorburg and checked about 4,400 passengers from roughly 70 services.
- Inspectors issued 59 fines, police arrested one person who still owed 22 days in jail, and fourteen travellers lacked valid identification.
- NS described it as the first time it checked almost all trains within a set window and said it will use this approach more often.
- Timetables were adjusted to allow 2–4 minutes per train for checks, and some trains near Gouda were left uninspected to recover delays after a track trespass.
- Fare-evasion enforcement has intensified with fines rising to €70 in October and nearly 400,000 penalties issued in 2025, guided by increasingly predictive targeting.
