Some 500 passengers stuck on Brussels to Amsterdam train for hours near Antwerp

About 500 passengers were stuck on the train from Brussels to Amsterdam for nearly five hours on Tuesday night. “It is the Benelux train that runs from Brussels to Amsterdam,” a spokesperson for the Belgian rail company NMBS told the Belgian broadcaster. “The train has been stranded since 7:00 p.m. due to a technical problem.” Technicians initially tried to fix the issue on-site, but that failed when another technical problem popped up, the spokesperson said. Emergency services helped passengers move from one train to the other, which took them to Rotterdam at around midnight.
