TRAINS, trams and planes ground to a halt in and around Amsterdam yesterday due to a huge power cut.
Dutch electricity network administrator TenneT said that a large part of North Holland province had been hit.
It blamed the cuts on a fault at a high-voltage power station in the town of Diemen, just outside Amsterdam.
Schiphol Airport halted all inbound flights and only a limited number of planes could leave during the power cut.
The airport tweeted later that power had been restored at 10.45am and that it was working to clear the backlog of flights.
The national railway service said that no trains were running in and around Amsterdam and most trams in the city also stopped.
