In recent days, there were significant disruptions after the trains had collided between stations Tilburg Central and Tilburg University. Because the passenger train was only towed today, train traffic was quite disturbed that time between Breda, Tilburg and Den Bosch.
In the train were Friday about forty people. Most passengers were by the collision with the train “quite shaken.” The conductor suffered a head wound and was therefore treated in hospital. Seven other people were bruises, but did not go to the hospital.
