THE Dutch rail network is set for a new train kilometre record, with the 2019 timetable showing an expansion of train services. However, infrastructure manager Prorail warns the increase is making it increasingly difficult to allocate track capacity among train operators on the Dutch network.

DUTCH infrastructure manager Prorail says painting level crossing surfaces yellow could improve safety following a successful trial at Baarn on the Amsterdam - Amersfoort line.

PUNCTUALITY on the Dutch network, excluding high-speed, improved to 92.1% in the first quarter of 2018, an all-time record for the network.

THE Netherlands government has decided to reconstruct and expand Amsterdam Central and Amsterdam South stations in order to improve accessibility to the Dutch capital and increase the capacity of the city’s rail network.
