Overview
- NS and ProRail restored Geldermalsen–Den Bosch services around 00:30 after extensive repairs to one kilometre of track and the damaged level crossing, following the 30 October train–truck collision that lightly injured five people.
- The Dutch Safety Board ended its Meteren inquiry, citing a lack of new safety lessons, while ProRail continues an internal investigation expected to take about three months and reiterates cautions for drivers at level crossings.
- At a procedural hearing in Arnhem, judges mapped next steps in the 14 February Pannerden killing of 22‑year‑old Muse, with two adult suspects still detained, a then‑minor tried separately, and psychiatric assessments at Pieter Baan Centrum delaying a full trial until next year.
- Tilburg’s mayor ordered a two‑week closure of a Corellistraat house after a neighborhood shooting; police released the name and photo of suspected gunman Badr Wong Tham Soeng and advise the public not to approach him.
- Rijkswaterstaat will close key A16/A20 links at Terbregseplein this weekend and in coming weeks for viaduct repairs tied to tand‑nok issues, coordinated with rail works in the Rotterdam area; detours run via the A4 and A15.
