Despite the fall in the number of travellers caused by the coronavirus
crisis, Dutch rail infrastructure company ProRail is expecting an
increase in the number of services in 2021.
Next year railway companies plan to add nearly 2,800 more services – for both goods and passenger trains – taking the total up to 2,172,187. This means more trains on the tracks,
ProRail said, including an additional train between Groningen and Leeuwarden and a night train from Amsterdam to Vienna.
‘These new services have to be scheduled in in such a way that they don’t clash with other services,’ ProRail spokesman Sybren Hazenberg told broadcaster NOS. The new schedule also means existing services will operate faster, Hazenberg said.
