Suspected sabotage causes severe Dutch rail disruptions
Dutch rail operator ProRail reported major train disruptions and malfunctioning level crossings across the central and northern Netherlands following suspected track sabotage.
Major train disruptions hit the central and northern parts of the Netherlands, including Amsterdam, following suspected sabotage targeting the country's rail network. National railway infrastructure manager ProRail reported that services faced widespread cancellations and delays on Tuesday.
The interference involved pipes being attached to the tracks across several locations, disrupting signal systems and causing multiple level crossings to malfunction. Maintenance crews and law enforcement responded to investigate the incidents and repair damaged infrastructure. Railway authorities advised passengers to seek alternative travel options while technicians work to restore full service across the affected regions.
