The Dutch
railways, NS, has for years continued to use old trains which can easily derail
after any incident and thus cause enormous damage and delays. Already back in 2008, the transport inspector
warned the NS about these trains. A few
days ago, a train of this kind, a Mat 64, hit a car. The driver of the car was
killed and the train derailed. The
repairs to the railway took a week.
There are 47 of the Mat 64 trains currently in use by NS.
