How does the conversion of Hoekse Lijn to Metrolijn B affect Rail & Sail tickets?
The Stenaline Rail and Sail ticket covers travel from London to any train station in The Netherlands, including the train and the ferry crossing from Harwich to Hoek van Holland. However, from 1 April 2017, there will be no more trains from Hoek van Holland to Schiedam, as the Hoekse Lijn is being converted to a metro line. During the conversion, there are rail replacement buses.
Currently, Rail & Sail tickets are not valid on the Rotterdam metro network. I assume they will be valid on the rail replacement buses and on the metro line opening late 2017. Is this officially confirmed by Stenaline or RET anywhere? Exactly on what RET lines will I be able to travel with a Rail & Sail ticket?
According to seat61, rail tickets will be valid on the buses. But this is contradicted by RET, which states NS-reisproducten zijn niet geldig bij de RET, which means that NS travel products are not valid at RET, contradicting seat61.
