Dutch Railway System not Equipped for Dutch Weather


Rover, the consumer organization of rail travelers, says that it is incredible that the Dutch railway infrastructure system is not able to deal with Dutch weather. Over the Easter holiday major delays occurred because rail points had frozen. The infrastructure company ProRail said that the heating of the points didn’t function because the wrong kind of snow had fallen. The Dutch meteorological service said that the few centimeters of snow that fell were of the usual type.
