The Dutch railway site (www.ns.nl) is quite accurate. It lists the trains, arrival time, departure time and location where you have to change trains. In the 6 years or so that I've been a regular train user, I still have to come across a case where the website listed a train that the NS did not intend to run. Of course, the system is as good as its input data. If there is a technical problem or accident along a path, the website will notify you about that as soon as the data is entered. In practice, this means some chaos and confusion the first 10-30 minutes after the incident, then decent warning messages appear. That said, please explain to me how the IAOC can verify that a train sometime in the future, will not run according to schedule.
