The driver was able to get out of the bus on time, police said. He was not injured. It is unclear what caused the bus to stop.
The accident happened at ten to ten at the railway crossing on Marconilaan. The devastation after the blow is enormous.
There are no trains on the route until at least half past three. The 85 passengers of the train are evacuated and taken away by bus.
