Leiden-The Hague train services cancelled until at least April 11

Dutch News  

Three of those injured in Monday night’s train crash when a passenger and goods train ploughed into construction work are seriously ill in intensive care, broadcaster NOS said on Tuesday evening. Construction company BAM was carrying out scheduled maintenance work on rail lines running parallel to the line on which the trains were travelling when the accident happened. ProRail CEO John Foppen said the crane was being used on two rail lines that were closed for scheduled maintenance work, parallel to the lines the trains were travelling on. ‘I’ve worked on the rails for 17 years and never seen anything like this.’ Four years ago an NS train collided with a crane on the track outside Prinsenbeek station, on the high-speed line near Breda.
