Government must find more money for high-speed train services

The government will have to find €166m to plug losses stemming from the Dutch high-speed train network, Nos television reports, quoting confidential parliamentary documents.


The report was put together by parliament’s research department and says MPs are extremely worried about the project’s future. They are due to debate the network’s problems on Thursday.
The high-speed network continues to be heavily loss-making. The Dutch state owns 90% of the operating company, Air-France KLM has the remaining 10%.
