Den Bosch Rail Service Restored After Vught Overhead-Line Fault

ProRail blames a misconnected overhead line at Vught, prompting NS refunds for long delays.

Overview

  • Train traffic to and from Den Bosch returned to the normal timetable from 17:00 after work on a temporary track in Vught caused an all-day shutdown toward Tilburg and Eindhoven.
  • NS says travelers delayed over 60 minutes qualify for a full-fare refund under its compensation rules, which can be claimed via its online form.
  • The temporary Vught station, slated to open Monday morning, saw its first Sprinter depart at 15:28 once the fault was fixed.
  • Police are investigating a powerful overnight explosion that caused extensive damage to a coffeeshop on Veemarkt in Doetinchem.
  • In separate updates, officers reported a body found in a Nieuwegein alley and an overseas arrest of a 43-year-old suspect in the death of a 78-year-old woman from Bunschoten.
