Understanding NS connection and service problems
NS provides journey planning, disruption information and Mijn NS account services. A cancelled train is a transport disruption; an unreachable journey planner is a website problem, and the two should not be counted interchangeably.
The checker above requests ns.nl from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual NS action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.
Other checks in shopping & services: 9292 status check, Funda status check, PostNL status check, Coolblue status check. Compare results separately; these links do not establish a shared outage.

NS official website and help
Open ns.nl
Open the website in your browser and compare it with the result above.
Where to report problems with NS
Open NS help / reporting. Use the provider's customer-service or account-help route for the affected product. Sign-in may be required for private account questions.
Details to include in your report
Stations, intended departure time, website/app action and error; send ticket or account references only to NS privately.
Attach the checker’s downloaded JSON if it helps show the hostname, regional responses and original timestamps. Describe what happened in your browser or app as well. A report sent to WebsiteDown.org is not automatically forwarded to NS.
What to check when NS is not working
These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that NS is currently experiencing a particular incident.
Start with the action that failed
Compare the journey planner with NS's current rail-disruption page using the same stations and travel time. Save an existing ticket before refreshing an app session.
Narrow down the affected service
If only Mijn NS fails, separate login from viewing journeys or requesting a refund. Do not assume a working public timetable confirms access to an individual travel account.
Read the actual checker response
A 403 Forbidden or 429 Too Many Requests means the host answered but refused or limited that request. A timeout gives no HTTP response. Keep those outcomes separate and check the available-region count before treating the result as broad evidence.
How to check if NS is down
- Compare the website response. Open ns.nl in your browser and run the website check. Compare the time and error; a homepage response does not verify every feature.
- Test the feature that failed. Compare the journey planner with NS's current rail-disruption page using the same stations and travel time. Save an existing ticket before refreshing an app session.
- Check for a different cause. If only Mijn NS fails, separate login from viewing journeys or requesting a refund. Do not assume a working public timetable confirms access to an individual travel account.
- Keep useful report details. Stations, intended departure time, website/app action and error; send ticket or account references only to NS privately.
A useful comparison for NS
Repeat the same action in a second browser or on another available connection, keeping the item and account the same. Change one thing at a time so the result is comparable. Leave required workplace or school security controls in place.
Follow the website troubleshooting guide for connection checks. Preserve any unsent work before refreshing a form or changing a session.
