Giant Power Outage Hits #Amsterdam Rail, Roads

Local Editor

Amsterdam was hit by a giant power outage Tuesday, causing road and rail chaos that left scores of rush hour commuters stranded, authorities said.

The power cut meant no trains to or from Amsterdam’s busy main rail station, resulting in a rush of drivers onto the road and heavy traffic.

"Other parts of the country are hit by the knock-on effect," Dutch National Rail said on its website.

"The power cut has since been fixed but rail traffic is still seriously affected," it said shortly before 10:00 am.
