Deliberately attached pipes disrupt train services in the Netherlands
Pipes deliberately attached to railway tracks disrupted morning rush-hour train and road traffic across the central and northern Netherlands.
Amsterdam, Netherlands. Train services across the central and northern Netherlands were disrupted during Tuesday’s morning rush hour after pipes were deliberately attached to railway tracks, infrastructure operator ProRail said.
Investigation under way
ProRail said the disruption appeared to have been caused deliberately by human action, although those responsible and their motive were not known.
National police were investigating the incident.
Road traffic affected
Broadcaster NOS showed long, thin pipes being removed from the tracks.
ProRail said the pipes also affected road traffic because several level crossings had to remain closed. The operator said it could not say when train services would return to normal.
