One metro track closed due to minor subsidence

Where in Zuidas

In the morning of 19 October 2023, one of the metro tracks at Amsterdam Zuid station appeared to have subsided. The GVB took the track out of service as a precaution. The metro track concerned is used by lines 50 and 51, in the direction of Gein and Amsterdam Central station. This metro track will be out of service for the rest of the day and the evening at least. A modified service is running for metro 50 and 51. Check www.gvb.nl for more information.

Trains running at modified speed

The subsidence is at the location where we are building the Brittenpassage, the second passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station. Underneath the metro track concerned, there is a section of what will ultimately form the roof of the Brittenpassage. It was inserted into position in 2021. One of the railway tracks has also subsided slightly and trains are running at a modified speed in the area around the station. We will be repairing the subsidence in the night of 19/20 October. These works may cause some noise in the local area. The metro is expected to resume its normal service on the morning of 20 October.
