Passengers stuck in broken-down train

Some 400 passengers were stuck in a broken-down train for several hours on Tuesday evening after a small fire caused a short circuit in the power supply.


The train, travelling to Maastricht, came to a halt in the middle of fields at around 7.15pm and was towed to Sittard at 10.45pm.
