In the Netherlands, heavy snow and strong wind make it difficult for trains this week. On Sunday, trains on the main rail net were suspended for the entire day. This includes rail freight, which was down until Wednesday. “I’ve been working at ProRail for 15 years, but I’ve never experienced this before”, John Voppen, CEO of the Dutch infrastructure manager said on national television. On Monday, some trains slowly resumed operations, but there is no normal timetable until the second half of the week at the least. Northern Germany faces similar snow problems.
