Train replacement services plus rond trip Leiden-Utrecht

Today, Saturday 09 September 2019, Pro-rail planned for this day (and Sunday)railroad works between Leiden and Haarlem/Schiphol Airport. Train replacement buses are buses from touringcar companies. So, I went from Haarlem to Leiden which such a bus. There during one hour, in a very cold wind I stayed on the busstation to take pictures of these special buses. Here a few a of them.

At a certain moment I saw all te buses for this morning. I did not return home but took Arriva line 187 and changed at Boskoop station into bus 186 with destination Gouda.

In Gouda I saw for the first time the R-net buses of Arriva for the line 497 to Schoonhoven.

With line 497 I travelled to Schoonhoven. Here I took a picture of the former West Nederland garage and waited for the neighbourhood bus 505 for IJsselstein.

Line 505 has a very nice route along the rivier The Vlist. And with the sun shining it made the trip to a pleasant one. Arriving at IJsselstein Binnenstad I waited for the tram to Nieuwegein and later onwards to Utrecht

After arrival in Utrecht it was time to take the last pictures. Then diner in de station bistro and back home.
