The manager of the Dutch railway infrastructure, ProRail, stated that material, including pipes, was found on the tracks in several locations. Safety systems subsequently detected faults, and problems affecting train operations arose in at least 20 locations. aktuality.sk ↗
According to ProRail, at least one train came into contact with material placed on the track. The objects that had been placed disrupted the functioning of the track circuits and triggered widespread restrictions. In some parts of the country, rail traffic was completely halted. denik.cz ↗
