ProRail: no trains on Saturday morning either due to storm damage
Storm Eunice has caused a lot of damage to the railway. That is why there are still no trains running on Saturday morning, ProRail reports.
In many places in the country fallen trees are lying on the track or the overhead wires are damaged. ProRail started on Friday evening with inspection rides, which are rides without passengers to check whether there are any roadblocks or damage to the track. However, due to the persistent strong winds, this is not yet possible safely in the entire country.
Repair work is not yet possible
Where the journeys have already been carried out, it has been found that there has been major damage to the track and to the overhead wires. Repair work is not yet possible due to the persistent high winds.
“Unfortunately, this means that we cannot start the timetable tomorrow morning. The safety of our employees is number one,” according to the rail manager. It is not yet clear when this will be possible.
