Despite busy Dutch network, there could be many more international train departures, says ProRail CEO

The Dutch railway network offers a lot more potential for long-distance passenger trains, John Voppen, CEO of infrastructure manager ProRail, said at RailTech Europe 2022. According to Voppen, the current infrastructure allows for around 20-30 percent more long-distance trains. These are not exact figures, but an estimate based on the current offer, he emphasised. “But the existing trains are sometimes fully booked, so the demand is there.”
