Default How to get from The Hague to Paris on strike day?


"The Rev Gaston" a écrit dans le message de
...
Just my luck - I have a train ticket to go from The Hague to Paris this
Friday, but a train strike is announced in NL, and apparently there are
no trains north of Antwerp.

Does anyone have any good ideas for getting from The Hague to Paris,
whether via Antwerp or otherwise?

Alternatively - does anyone know if this strike is actually sure to
happen, or are these things called off at the last minute?

In your shoes, I'd take one of the evening trains tomorrow (Thursday) to
Antwerp Centraal Sta., and stay overnight in one of the numerous hotels
nearby. But note that Connexxion bus route 19 runs from Breda via Antwerp
Noorderplaats (about 2 km from Centraal sta.) to Hulst (and vv) : journey
planners are on www.connexxion.nl or (whole NL) www.9292ov.nl .
