Den Bosch Rail Resumes After Vught Overhead-Line Fault in Day of 112 Incidents

ProRail pins the stoppage on a connection error at the new temporary Vught track, with NS confirming full refunds for delays over an hour.

Overview

  • Train service to and from Den Bosch returned to the normal timetable around 17:00 on 20 October after hours of cancellations toward Tilburg and Eindhoven.
  • ProRail’s logbook attributes the disruption to a faulty overhead-line connection on the new temporary track at Vught, where the first Sprinter departed later that afternoon from the temporary station.
  • NS says travelers delayed more than 60 minutes can claim a full fare refund with a valid ticket, noting caps for student products and subscription-dependent payouts.
  • Police forensic teams are investigating an explosion that damaged the front of a house on Vinkebaan in Amersfoort, with the area cordoned off for evidence collection.
  • A body was found in an alley in Nieuwegein and a Rotterdam roadworker was electrocuted while removing a detour sign on the Vaanweg, with both incidents under investigation.
